Lookback: 2 months into the job

Accepted job offer before vacation planning

Planned vacation with mom 2 months into new job after verbal offer

What I wish I knew
"Consider job policies on PTO and vacation requests"
If I could tell you one thing
"Communicate vacation plans with employer before accepting offer"
