Been a while since switched jobs so curious what kind of time off for new hires may be considered typical these days? Live in Midwest, smaller to mid-size town so not sure if bigger city would vary greatly. While salary is a big factor, benefits have always been a huge consideration as well. Thanks

OP, if it helps, I’ll share my profile. I work in NYC at a manufacturing company. I have 8 years of work experience, make $154k, and get 18 PTO days and 9 Federal holidays. My previous position was at a consulting firm; I had 28 PTO days and 11 Federal Holidays.

For large tech companies I think 4 weeks of PTO is common starting off, plus holidays.

Manager, how long before an increase in vacation time? One position, it takes until year 10 before getting an increase to 3 weeks? Is that normal? Plus only 6 sick days and 2 personal days. Just curious if I have too high of expectations.

Every organization has their own Vacation/PTO policy. So it varies.

My employer bumps the PTO bucket at years 3, 5, 10, and 15. After that, you are either capped or negotiating your own pool of PTO time.

Do you all feel that the Health Insurance choice is actually all the same? The coverage is absolutely copy and paste for Bronze to Platinum and the deductible/copay is very similar.
I just don’t understand why we have the illusion of “choice” if the offer is the same and it is really bad (in our case).
Going from $61 per paycheck for 2.5k deductible 75% copay to $500+ per paycheck with 500 deductible 85% copay.
Other firms have better health insurance?
