Lmao 10 paid days off if you’ve been there 2 years. Meanwhile EU and their average 25 days
Unfortunately, this is fairly standard for north america. 25 days off is kind of unheard of IMO unless you’re like director level.
In my experience in the tech industry, 10 days is standard for entry* level positions, but quickly grows as you advance your career. At some places you can accrue more than those 10 days as well, based on hours worked. A lot of places do the “unlimited PTO” thing too now, so 10 days for a pretty experienced person working at a successful tech company seems pretty paltry to me.
I’ve had ~25 days off for years, and was most of that time merely “developer”. My first career job was 3 weeks from day 1. I would gamble many of the people that work for LTT are otherwise in fields that would get more than 10 days per year starting. And I’m in the US. My Canadian friends always have better vacay and bennies than I do.
I get 5 weeks at a smaller semiconductor fab in Oregon, that’s the industry standard for fabs in the Portland area. Intel has a mandatory month sebatacle after 5 years of employment I’ve heard.
I live and work in Belgium.
0 days off if you haven’t worked the year before (technically illegal is the EU, and they will allow you to take paid days off if you file for “EU days off” but then they deduct it from your following year. Damn loopholes.)
12 if you haven’t worked but work 40 hours instead of 38
20 days off required bt government after the first year
10 or so national holidays that are paid by default
42 in total generally, with some rolling if unused.
Almost Unlimited sick days if you get doctor’s notes (there are also house visiting doctors and a normal doctor visit is 4€). Some jobs that are toxic will send doctors employed by them to your house to make sure you are sick.
After the first year it is quite nice.
10 days is the legal minimum in Canada and most companies don’t offer more than that unless you have lots of experience. My company caps at 15 days. So I say this is more of a Canada work culture problem than an LMG problem
Bro what the fuck. The legal minimum in Belgium is 20 days, and you also get 10 national holidays. 30+ days (not including those national holidays) isn’t exceptional. I can’t imagine only getting 10 days.
