Vacation Time at large SM?

Looking to jump ship to a large SM fund in the coming months. I'm sure there's nuance between firms, but what would you say are typical vacation allocations for a junior Analyst? And if you could provide color on what is considered "acceptable" or not, ie if it's looked down upon to take all available time off, etc. For context, looking at a spattering of firms like ValueAct, Eminence, D1, Viking, and others.

Thanks in advance!
