1 month, me as an Associate when I got married. Then 1 month when each of my kids were born but I was a Director for one (7 years experience) and SVP for the other (9 years).
That’s the only time I’ve taken more than 2 weeks consecutively in 10 years.

I usually take one full week off in the summer and a couple Fridays here and there for long weekend type trips
