Plaintiff PI attorneys. How often do you take time off? I only need one “vacation” (full week) per year, but find myself in dire need of at least one day to myself every 3 months.

One full week vacation and usually another day off a month as needed. But I’ll also take smaller brakes such as leaving super early on Friday. Otherwise I get burnt out.

I usually take a week off every three months. And if I see a free moment on my schedule, I do something random - go see a movie, hit the gym, etc. The occasional break in routine helps recharge me mentally as much as some vacations do!

lol. i would hope so.

I do a full week and then take off random days whenever I feel the need to do so, which is at least once each month.

Not as much as I should or need.

lol didn’t know everyone else did this too. I’ll do a 2 week vacation out of the country and take a day off “sick” each month

I really wish we had European Quality of Life.

I took 1 8 day vacation to visit family in Europe. Still getting in trouble for missing so much time.

My best friend who is a lawyer there gets a 4 day work week, 30 paid days off, plus holidays.

4-6 weeks total in terms of days off but usually only one or two is actual weeks others are days mixed in and out the year

The attorney I work for seems to ALWAYS be on vacation, but I guess that is one of the perks of being the big boss. I will say he usually only does one week off and the rest are just randomd days throughout the month.
