I think i took 5 days off last year not including holidays

Nice, be your own boss!

2 months, including holidays

Damn! I will be happy with half of that.

Technically twelve days but I was definitely working at least 4 hours each of those days

Thanks for sharing. Did you work to stay on top of things while you were on vacation?

UK IB here - 30 days (not inc public holidays ;) )…

But we get paid less versus you US guys…

Need a sanity check here.

When I joined my current company, we were on a quarterly bonus structure with guaranteed payouts each quarter. This was, in fact, how the recruiter said he could meet my salary request.

The company just announced we are moving to annual payouts only, with no payments for 2023 until May 2024. There are no raises happening.

This amounts to 12% less money in my pocket in 2023 plus inflation.

Is this standard, or should I be looking for opportunities elsewhere?
