That drastically reduces the number of companies you could work for. I have never had a problem with the number of vacation days. If you need more, just take unpaid days. If company A offers 4 weeks of vacation and company B offers 2 weeks, assuming everything else is equal, try to negotiate 4% more in pay to compensate for 1 paycheck's worth of unpaid vacation. I have always been able to negotiate at least 10% more than the initial offer for every job I took. This more than makes up for any lack of vacation days. I vacation a lot (e.g. 1 week Caribbean cruise, 4 days in Cancun, 5 days in Puerto Rico, 1 month in Philippines, 1 week Caribbean cruise again, Vegas for New Years, and a 3rd 1 week Caribbean Cruise within a 365 day period at a company that just offered 2 weeks paid vacation) and I just take unpaid days.
- utefan001 15y agoI agree with you. I created this thread because I keep hearing about companies that offer "unlimited vacation time" that ends up being under 15 days per year because of employee fear. Also, I am not looking for a job.
