So I realized as I’m in the job market again that a job I went for an interviewed at, and now a second is in the offing.

Anyhow the usual is 2 weeks of paid vacation and 11 holiday, and maybe 10 days of sick time. With holidays it works out to 248 hours. Fucking paltry.

The company I’m going for – 6 weeks of paid vacation, the 11 holidays and 4 weeks of sick time. If you add that all up and convert into workdays it’s 508 hours of paid time off. That’s pretty respectable. Plus at year 5 you get 4 weeks of paid sabbatical leave plus they pay for your travel anywhere in the world. That’s a cool one to strive for.
