When I work, I work extremely hard. But I also love to travel. I’m looking to move within the next year or so and I know that three weeks vacation is NOT going to cut it for me. Any one have a lead on any .net companies that have a generous PTO policy? I’d like to start looking now so I can polish my skills to meet their needs.
Many companies have unlimited PTO and I’m sure if you establish yourself as a high performer your manager will let you do whatever you want. I’ve taken 6 weeks off at Uber this year. I’m also allowed to work remotely whenever I want. I think that’s pretty common here
Damn, only 3 weeks into the year and already took 6 off, freaking over achievers
“I know that three weeks vacation is NOT going to cut it for me” Lmao, pretty entitled, my friend. I hear teachers get like 4 months off a year.
Lol. If you think wanting more than 3 weeks off a year is “entitled” you probably live to work and nothing more. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ but you do you and I’ll do me. IDK what you spend your hard earned engineering salary on but I spend mine on travel and I need the time to use it. Have fun with your big house and expensive toys, if you need me I’ll be over here planning my trips to Zion NP, Iceland, S France, and N Cascades NP.. oh, and *IF* I have leftover vacation, a fall trip to Croatia and Munich for Octoberfest.
That’s cool! I did a vacation in much of those countries using my unlimited PTO last fall! Unlimited PTO is better for a company than allocated weeks, because allocated PTO is directly transferable to money, meaning that if you don’t want to use your PTO, then the employee could request it in cash. I would guess most companies are hesitant to give 3+weeks of PTO.
Capital one

I don’t know. But when you find one, be sure to bring pics of you riding goatback in the Himalayas to the interview.
Oh, I will! And you can put in on your desk at work, where you spend most of your time. Or on your desk at home, where you spend the rest.
It would demonstrate you wouldn’t waste your PTO on a staycation.
