**inb4 FAQs:**

*  **Do you hike in one big group?**
   * No, we split into smaller groups based on desired pace and stagger each group's start time by 5 minutes. These groups ultimately split into even smaller groups. Faster groups go first to create more space on the trail. 
* **Why on Mondays?**
   * Trail traffic is very low on Mondays, making it easier to accommodate a group like this. 
* **Does your community only do hikes?**
   * No, (un)PTO is a community of people across the US in career transition. While our claim to fame is group hikes, we do other things like co-work, help each other with our job search, and do other fun things like coffee hangs, bike rides, and of course, eat food. 😋
* **Can people with jobs join too?**
   * Yes, but only if you realize that most of the people in this community are in career transition and act accordingly, for instance: offer a referral, connect them to someone in your network, and maybe don't complain about how work sucks. 😅
