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.

🤐, in fairness for the first four years prior to my wedding, I’d taken 3 days vacation and that included working everything but 2 Christmases… I was also prepared to quit if I didn’t get the month for my wedding.

Only in US 2 weeks is a big deal. Although I see quite often co-workers traveling back to India take 3 or 4 weeks off.

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