Probably, but lower pay than most software engineers at this point in their career even excluding SV and major metros. It's a tradeoff. I could almost double my salary going across the street but I'd have to drop to 4 weeks of leave a year and lose the rollover.
EDIT:
But if I'm understanding the table you linked, for people with between 10 and 20 years of experience, 19% have > 24 days off and 43% have > 20 days off. So my base leave is above average but not extraordinary. The rollover may be, though.
- lotsofpulp 2y agoYes, the amount you can 6 rollover is very exceptional. It would also be exceptional if you were approved to take all that leave at once.
- Jtsummers 2y agoI've had several coworkers take 1.5-2 months off at once, usually scheduled very deliberately to coincide with the completion of some major work effort (+ some margin), when work would normally be slow as the next effort is barely ramping up. Of course, part of doing this means effectively not taking leave for a year so you have enough to roll over or using smaller amounts of leave for several years to accrue enough rollover leave.
