From what I've seen, 10 days vacation per year seems to be the norm in corporate US, though I know people who get even less than that.

- volkl48 9y agoI'd say more like 10-15 days (2-3 weeks). That's said, I will point out that most people posting on this site are in desirable enough roles that US work culture is a choice, not a requirement, even when you're living in the US. It just seems to be a choice that most don't consider. I could easily find a position which makes 25% salary than my current position. Instead I took one where I never work more than 40hrs, where I have essentially 7 weeks PTO starting and it'll go up if I stay here long-term. My quality of life is fantastic and I still make more than enough for a very nice lifestyle (and proper retirement/long-term goal savings). I'm sure I could live even more luxuriously or retire a couple years sooner if I made even more money, but I don't think that would be remotely worth what I get by not going that route. Not to mention the people who just die or develop debilitating ailments before they ever really get to enjoy that retirement.
