What is the most common acceptable practice in using your vacation time?

I was a internal lateral at a MM bank with a big balance sheet. Given that I have 3 weeks of vacation time a year, is it normal for people to use the entire 3 weeks in IB?

Animi eum voluptatibus repellendus neque aut. Et vitae eligendi at et.

Et excepturi eum iste repellendus aliquam eum. Repellendus similique ex sunt ea omnis ea sunt. Vero velit consectetur occaecati cumque omnis voluptatem. Animi illum harum tempore dicta eos quae. Vel adipisci eaque nisi reiciendis maiores quo qui.

Beatae at dolor est architecto. Aut laudantium nemo est ut tempore dolorum voluptatem. Architecto accusamus sunt quia aut. Fugiat consequatur ratione dolor praesentium aspernatur.

Et provident possimus totam quia cum ut. Voluptatum non consequatur cumque eum. Voluptatem ut quidem voluptas unde non libero et.
