Personally I have never had a white-collar job in the US which started out at 10 days but it does seem to be the average in the US (when starting out) [1]. All of my employers have always started out with 15 days of vacation time with more after a certain amount of tenure. Given the age and experience of OP, I think they are getting shafted with 10 days.
On a side note, the US is truly awful when it comes to vacation and time off from work. The culture here is non-stop work and it's not sustainable.

- locusofself 5y agoAbsolutely agree on 10 days being unacceptable. The recruiter said it's a blanket policy for new hires and there is no way for him to request an exception whatsoever. Crazy talk
