RE guys...What is your vacation policy?

Curious what other people in the industry are getting. I'm only allowed 10 days per year which seems light relative to other people i know. Considering asking for more if most others are getting a better policy.

"Count_Chocula" I have no idea honestly; as long as I'm not obnoxious about it and get my shit done no one cares or counts days.

Mine is the same way

Pretty much the same as what others have posted here. Started at 10 days (analyst) plus holidays and unlimited (apparently) sick days. Now at 15 days plus the same sick days and holidays. No one keeps track though so if you go over a few days or even a week throughout the year no one is likely to notice, so long as you're not taking 3-4 weeks at one time.

It is what it is.
 

10 days but nobody keeps track. That was one of the first things I asked when I started ,”how many PTO days?” “Well there’s no handbook and no policy but 10 days PTO. Keep track and don’t abuse it.” LOL
