    I dunno, at my last job with unlimited PTO I took as much as I wanted. Obviously you want to make sure things can run without you, but that’s manageable.

    Unless you work someplace truly shitty that has unlimited PTO in name only, I think it’s by and large how you approach it. Most people do themselves dirty with it for no real reason. For me, I generally just took time off for planned vacations and a couple other things, typically taking off 4-6 weeks a year, which worked for me and I found pretty reasonable. Was absolutely never an issue.

    My current job accrues 18 days paid off over the year (increasing with time on the job to 24 or something like that), and it’s mostly fine though honestly if I’ve used it all and I end up needing more time off, I’m probably just gonna take it off anyway. I’m still not 100% sure if it’s gonna be enough since I’m taking a week off next week to pack up my house to move.
