How many vacation days do you take per year?

Well, on average, I usually take around 10 to 15 vacation days a year. But you know, in the finance industry, it can be tough to completely unplug during vacations. Many of us end up checking work emails and phone calls to some extent, but it varies from person to person and company to company. Some folks manage to disconnect completely, while others, like me, find it necessary to stay somewhat connected.

this guy that's basically SVP/MD equivalent who's a deal lead and is very involved but doesn't communicate for shit and was off Friday to Tuesday, but didn't say whether we had to cancel a meeting or what to do. No one else knew, he didn't tell anyone, and he had canceled it for another deal so I made a gametime decision to do the same, then he calls me from out of the country and is like "why did you do that"

Sorry, that didn't answer your question at all. I try to make most of mine, but I'd get cashed out if I leave (idk how much that's worth though).

I take 3 weeks of vacation + 5 personal days

We have 10 sick days per year, of which I often use most around nyse holidays/ 3 day weekends, and roll over any remaining.
 

On vacation I check emails 3x a day. Once in morning, once after lunch, once after dinner. I often bring my laptop but may not always be able to work as I’m often in areas with limited Wi-Fi access for the entire week

Like 12-15 on average. I consider myself fully unplugged, don't check my work phone but I don't go anywhere without my personal laptop. It's a true partner to me and my actual gf is definitely annoyed by this. 

3 weeks, nyse holidays, 3 personal and 7 sick days

My group requires every analyst and associate to take at least 2 weeks of vacation per year, but typically most take at least 3

Usually about 3 weeks worth. I never completely unplug but my team usually steps in for me while I'm gone so that I only have to work a little every day. I prefer it that way as I don't mind doing a little bit every day and I travel more for experiences than to relax anyways. 

I get 33 per year and I'm expected to use at least 66% of that. Only 10 roll over. 

I don't "work" on them per se, but I always try to read the daily flow of sell-side research into my inbox. If I fully disconnect from markets it means I waste a lot of time catching up when I'm back, plus it's interesting enough so not really that much of a chore to keep up with. 

All of them or nearly all. So about 19-20 days on avg a year. Mine don't roll over so no point not taking them

I only took a couple of weeks in my first analyst year. I think everyone needs at least 4+ weeks per year if working in ib. 2 weeks in winter 2 in summer minimum 

Technically taking 5 this year, but will be traveling for the weeks of Thanksgiving and Christmas.  Took 2 weeks of sabbatical after my analyst stint, but that's all of the vacation I took my first 4 years on the desk.  Maxing out my vacation going forward

Take your vacation days, it’s important
