What is a normal amount of paid time off to ask for when negotiating a new role as a full-time Creative Director in the United States? I’m coming from Australia and am unsure of the standard. I heard two weeks for your first job... but since I’ve got 15 years experience, I should expect / ask for more than that, right? Thanks in advance!

As someone who is a transplant to the US. I have 4 weeks. But it's very hard to actually take that time. US work culture is much different than UK (AUS and Canada have a similar holiday culture). It's one of the reasons I'm moving back.

25-30 days. Some shops are going to "unlimited FTO," as long as you can still be billable enough (which means they'll start getting concerned if you take more than 30)

FTO. Flexible time off

I'd aim for 4-5 weeks at your experience level.

I usually ask for 360 days off

There are different types of time off. Vacation which they are required to pay you for. Accrued PTO which is for sick leave or personal days. Vacation you might be able to negotiate 20 days, but most companies won’t go over 15. Accrued PTO is non-negotiable.

For agencies tied to digital, and in-house teams that are a part of tech startups unlimited PTO is more of the norm. I typically take 4 weeks, peers have taken 5. I do a couple 10 day vacations and sprinkle the rest throughout the year to extend weekends that have public holidays. This year I took less because there was nowhere to go.

4 weeks at least for sure. I was an immigrant and they totally get the magic word “family.”

4 weeks at least. Some companies will package it up differently, eg, offer 3 weeks plus the week off over the holidays at the end of the year or offer “flexible days,” “volunteer days,” etc.

4 weeks

My company covers in depth results each week, including meetings set/attended, wins, revenue, retention etc. I feel as if evaluating in such depth is detrimental to the psyche, as you never get to “ride the high.” In addition, some weeks are simply slower than others, and it’s not always representative of what the results at the end of the period or quarter will be. Is this not a big deal, and I’m I placing too much importance on it? Or is it beneficial to review results less frequently?
