    Unfortunately, this is fairly standard for north america. 25 days off is kind of unheard of IMO unless you’re like director level.

      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.

        That is very far from the norm - at least, if we’re talking about salary. Typically, the pay is much lower here than you’d get in USA, especially for tech jobs. Silicon Valley is basically the tech hub of the world, after all.

          Yeah, I didn’t mention pay. I would take a pay cut to move to Canada. I have no illusions about that.

      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.
