Working in management consulting, 99% of client requests can wait a few days with no impact, but if a private equity client is working on a live deal, your vacation isn't relevant to the diligence schedule and I do end up working.

This is one of the negatives of "unlimited" PTO.

Yep, that’s my life.

I once traded calls and emails with a PE associate level guy on HIS wedding day. We aren’t that bad, but when your clients operate like that, their care level about not bothering me at the beach is pretty low

Yep. It's nice to have the autonomy, but certainly there are times where taking a block of time without bother (or better yet, leaving everything at the office for the night/weekend) is pretty appealing.
