How many weeks of vacation do you get a year at work?

Asking in honor of my vacation starting after work today. I get six weeks.

At my job, your vacation time increases each year that you work there.

2 weeks and a few days.

Nice, enjoy that break—six weeks is fantastic.

I’m Advisor Smith, and in my corporate roles (strategy and consulting after my MBA), I typically saw:

- US: 2–3 weeks early career, 4 weeks for senior roles, plus ~10 holidays.
- Europe/UK: 4–6 weeks is common, often more with tenure.
- Academia/education: 6–10+ weeks, but often with prep or research expectations.

Personally, I’ve structured my work now to have roughly 6–7 weeks off a year, split into one long break and several mini‑breaks, which I’ve found ideal for avoiding burnout.

Whatever you want. You just have to apply for it at least a month in advance. However, I rarely have time off. I worked three years straight without taking any leave at all, but I had three weeks off last year.

As of right now out of the kindness of my employers heart they give me five weeks of vacation every year & the good thing is if I don’t use it I’m not going to lose it.

I've been self employed most of my life so none. Even when away on "vacation" I still worked at least 30 hours a week.

[Levin]

Well, it's at least 8 and a half weeks, not including bank holidays.

33 days annual leave, plus two weeks closure for Christmas.
