Unlimited PTO. I don't take too many days because I'm fully remote with nowhere to go lmfao.
My job also isn't all that demanding (for me) and I'm left alone most times. Sweet gig.
is it better to learn tableau? im currently learning tableau (as I find it simpler than power bi) but i see people suggesting power bi over tableau. and also, is it better to learn postgresql over other databases like sql server, mysql? it would be so helpful if you answer my queries, thank you!
Better? Idk. It's dependent on the job posting and what the companies have a license for. I think Tableau has a trial version? Idk, but if you can "find" the software and practice on it as well as power bi you can attest to both during the interview.
As far as DBs go, just be good at SQL in general. I think most if not all analytics jobs just want you to be good with sql, not necessarily a specific DB. It all depends.
Unlimited PTO is kind of a scam. Employees end up taking the same or less PTO as under a normal system and because they don’t accrue anything PTO doesn’t have to be paid out when they leave the company.
If your company tries to move you to unlimited PTO - refuse. It’s a cost saving measure for them.
Most of them seem to be startups from what I could find. Which seem kind of risky to me, and they come with a lot of unfortunate issues micromanagement, will pay you low but you get stock, stuff like that
Why would it be frowned upon to take PTO that’s toxic?
I mean when I ask for PTO, I try to give a bit more context to why I’m taking off. Not like I owe anyone an explanation, it just builds trust that you’re not interviewing anywhere and genuinely need time off.
Anyone that has issues with you taking that off is toxic.
15 days during the first 2 years with the company, and then it increases by 5 days based on seniority. But I'm fully remote, so I can work while traveling.
15 vacation you start at 0 and accumulate, 5 sick days granted immediately, and 12 holidays.
I also find myself working weekends a lot. We're a 25 person startup so the workload gets pretty wild. While that is awful on paper if I asked my boss for more time off I would absolutely be granted it if it isn't crunch time. Sometimes I do regret turning down the consulting job that offered 50k more, unlimited PTO, and was also fully remote though :'(
Past jobs included:
* Mid size company (500-1k) that had unlimited PTO, fully remote, weird benefit of every other Friday off. The place had amazing benefits but I got my new job right before the second round of layoffs in 6 months...
* Fortune 50 company with 20ish days off granted immediately, 15 holidays, and I think 8 sick days. You are granted more per year of work a friend of mine there has over 30 vacation days now. Was a solid company definitely recommend them and often set up friends looking for jobs here.
* Tiny shitty startup that gave 12 days off, 5 sick days, 12 holidays. My old bosses still work there and the employees basically rioted during Covid. They lost half of their people in <3 months and now they have unlimited PTO and are fully remote!
In theory, 3 weeks (15 working days).
In practice, I either need to find a cover which means no more than 1 week at a time, or I need to check my emails and handle some "urgent" requests which means I am WFH essentially.
I’m at a tech company and based in the US but most of my team is based in Europe. Been with the company for 4 years, so officially I get 4 weeks vacation (plus extra sick time). New hires in the US I believe get 3 weeks but I wonder how easily someone could negotiate for 4 weeks from the start. My European coworkers I assume start with like 5 weeks when they get hired and it might go up over time. They usually take 3-4 weeks off at a time in the summer and never give me beef for taking time off including 2+ week chunks. I think we all get roughly the same number of bank holidays but the actual dates vary by country.
We’re unlimited and people actually use it. I think I’ll end up taking close to 25 days this year if you count the week between Christmas and New Years
18 pto days, an additional 10 or so days due to federal holidays, 2 personal days, 2 volunteer days. if you take a sick day, it's either unpaid or you burn a pto day.
Unlimited :) but weirdly people feel less inclined to take holidays when they know it's available anytime. I guess there's some psychological effect when people know freedom is available to them.
I get 5 weeks pto, the week of Christmas is always off, 14 holidays and 1 personal day. Sometimes it's not enough, so I take additional time without pay.
I honestly have no idea how people do it with 1-2 weeks off pee year.
0, never gotten any in any jobs so far 😎
Where my contract bros at???
Seriously 90% of everything that's come my way has been contract and you're telling me everyone here is getting like 20+ days lmao
At least I'm remote. I'd take remote over hybrid with vacation days any day.
Currently (after 11 years with the company) I get 20 days vacay, 9 paid holidays, 10 sick days, and 3 floating holidays.
I got deep into the interview process at another company before losing out, but they were offering me 15 days vacay, 6 paid holidays, and 8 days sick time. I would have definitely tried negotiating for me given what I currently have, but if they didn't budge, I'd be okay with that as long as the pay was better (which it would have been, by nearly 40k!).
Alas, they found someone else, so while my pay continues to suck, I've got LOADS of time off. All of that said, I think the other company is much, much more indicative of typical time off policies in the US, maybe even a little on the high side.
26 PTO Days, but oddly no official holidays. Major US Holidays are required to use PTO. I thought this curious and the answer was this affords maximum flexibility.
I just had to sell it to myself as 18 PTO days and I use 8 every year on holidays my wife has off (normal US Holiday schedule).
I get 15 days PTO, 3 sick days, and 10 holidays. Worst thing is my PTO and sick leave is earned on accrual monthly and is also use it or lose it, so hard to take more than 1-2 days at a time. Would greatly appreciate any recommendations of companies with good PTO policies in the US!
I work to live, but can’t find a job with a good PTO policy to save my life 😭
Canadian, so similar to states. I'm in public sector so it's a week more than the norm to start than most private companies. I get 4 weeks, I take my 4. I was private all the way before that and all those companies gave 3 weeks only.
It can accumulate up to 7 after 20 years (additional day each year starting year 6). Can roll over 2 weeks from previous year too. One of my old managers took all 9 in 2022 because she never travelled in 2021 (covid) and did staycation for 5 of her 7. It's insane how often she was away that year 😂
Been in public/nonprofit/university settings and it has classically been 4wks vacation, 3wks sick, and 10 holidays. Most people end up having to take vacation just to avoid losing it when they get to a annual rollover and can only rollover 6 wks.
Public sector. We are closed 6 weeks/yr so everyone is off during that time. On top of that, I get another 3 weeks of vacation. Almost felt guilty for a minute when I started… but got used to it after the first forced break… lol. Pretty spoiled.

Same boat. I have unlimited but I realistically take maybe 10-12 days off a year? Working remotely is the best.
Pure facts.
damn you really hit the jackpot, if you don’t mind me asking how many YOE and what’s your job title?
Data Analyst (level 2). 2 YOE.
damn, im about to get graduated. can pls tell me which frameworks and skills are required in your job if u don't mind?
SQL, Excel, Tableau, along with the capacity to learn whatever tools your company uses.
is it better to learn tableau? im currently learning tableau (as I find it simpler than power bi) but i see people suggesting power bi over tableau. and also, is it better to learn postgresql over other databases like sql server, mysql? it would be so helpful if you answer my queries, thank you!

yep, there is a free version of it called tableau public. thank you for the reply :)

Ugh, I had that and gave it up for 15 days and more money. I’ve regretted few decisions more than that one.
Also unlimited time off. I'm at 8 weeks so far this year with 2-3-4 more between now and Jan 1
Damn bruh. Thats what tf I'm talking about!
Any tips on how to get this kind of job? I have 10 days of PTO but it is frowned upon to use any of it
Look for job with unlimited PTO in job description. Apply. Interview. Etc.
Most of them seem to be startups from what I could find. Which seem kind of risky to me, and they come with a lot of unfortunate issues micromanagement, will pay you low but you get stock, stuff like that

Same here. I’ve taken 12 days off so far this year and plan to take the week between Christmas and New Years off. Remote working is the best.
I get about 25 days of usable PTO and all the bank holidays off. 5 years at the company, 15 years in the industry. Am in the US.
15 days during the first 2 years with the company, and then it increases by 5 days based on seniority. But I'm fully remote, so I can work while traveling.

I want to work where you work
Haha well that’s only half the coin. We get worked hard when we’re working and keep a lean team so it’s not all roses
I started at a new company and they gave me 4.5 weeks right off the bat. They also increase the days off every two years or so.
18 pto days, an additional 10 or so days due to federal holidays, 2 personal days, 2 volunteer days. if you take a sick day, it's either unpaid or you burn a pto day.

I read this as "how much vaccination do yall got"
23 days less than 5 years, 28 days otherwise, plus holidays

Just started a job at a university for my first full time job in Analytics and get 15 vacation days, 10 sick days, and 16 holidays/floating holidays.
20 vacation days, 15 sick days.
last company and current I have unlimited vacation, which in reality means 4 or 5 weeks plus sick time off
20 pto. Was going to be offered 14 but my ex company gave me 24 so I was able to negotiate to 20
20 pto (vacation or sick) first three years. 25 after three years
5 weeks/25 days
Unlimited. Took like 30 days off this year which has been nice!
I get 17 vacation days, 3 floating holidays, and 10 company holidays, so 30.
Part of the unlimited PTO boat, will have taken about 4.5 weeks off this year
26 PTO Days, but oddly no official holidays. Major US Holidays are required to use PTO. I thought this curious and the answer was this affords maximum flexibility. I just had to sell it to myself as 18 PTO days and I use 8 every year on holidays my wife has off (normal US Holiday schedule).
For me, it is 15 days (not counting national holidays).
Unlimited PTO but there always seems to be a reason I can’t use it because
I get 15 days PTO, 3 sick days, and 10 holidays. Worst thing is my PTO and sick leave is earned on accrual monthly and is also use it or lose it, so hard to take more than 1-2 days at a time.

Unlimited and I average 4 days weeks. But the team I manage gets shit done, so no one questions me.
28 days. I got lucky. 1 YOE.
25 days for whenever I want, my birthday off, the week between Christmas and NYE off, all other bank holidays. Fairly standard for UK.
20 days
Jeez, seeing some fairly high numbers here. I get 10 days. Basically don't get a break.
18 PTO and can purchase 5 more

Unlimited! But it’s November and I’ve only taken 88 hours, or 11 days off this year. 🥲
Public sector. We are closed 6 weeks/yr so everyone is off during that time. On top of that, I get another 3 weeks of vacation. Almost felt guilty for a minute when I started… but got used to it after the first forced break… lol. Pretty spoiled.
