How many people get a three month, paid vacation at any point in their life?
- danielweber 12y agoIt's not a vacation if you don't have a job to come back to. I'd relax that first week, but then I would need to start job hunting. And this thought that "you can always find a new job" quickly might turn out to stop being true tomorrow, or not be true for your exact specialty or geographic location. (Especially if 210 other employees hit the job market the same time as you.)

- ghaff 12y agoIntel still has two month sabbaticals AFAIK but, yeah, it's incredibly rare. It's not even so much about the vacation being paid but having certainty. I haven't changed jobs a lot but the last time was pretty typical: get an offer and then "when can you start?" I ended up taking a 2-3 week vacation arranged on about 3 weeks notice.
