Experience changes per team. Flexible time off is real, but some managers are stingy with it. Other don't care much and can go up as 40-45 days a year.
I have it pretty good. We only stress close to project deadlines, once or twice a year. We own multiple apps, context switching is a challenge. The bureaucracy is real and slows everything down, pre prod is unreliable and unstable a lot. We are pushed to use Copilot for coding.
All in all I like it. If you can let things go and let yourself exploited, it's fine.

Thanks that’s helpful. If ur starting at like 9, when would you finish
