Apply for a job at the government. As an engineer you won't get the money, but you'll get the vacation/sick days.

There's also something to be said about job security and lower stress levels when you're an engineer / computer scientist working for the government...

I have 2 weeks of vacation per year. Not one year of vacation per 2 weeks like you.

WM is over stop talking about wrestling unless it's about NXT, no one cares about that main roster trash

+ insurance + dental plan + retirement fund + etc etc

Insurance packages tend to be pretty standard but yeah pension plans are a step above. At the same time the likelihood of anyone staying until retirement age in any non-gov job is extremely low

In my experience companies that only give 2 weeks to start (and then something stupid like 5-10 years to get the 3rd) tend to exploit their employees for all they're worth (until they burnout/quit)

oh friend, you don't work in tech

I have 4 weeks vacation and 3 personal days a year + dental and medical benefits. I work in a top accounting firm and I am happy with that. They also offer you to take an extra 2 weeks unpaid if you want. This year is tougher as I took all my 4 weeks in August for my wedding+honeymoon so I have no break before that.

I should have specified that it's pretty standard if you're relatively healthy.

But yes, I have worked in tech companies. What major differences are you referring to out of curiosity?

Now I get it. Yeah I've never worked in one of those... The smallest one was probably 8K employees at the time

Plus you get to wear suits!

Plus you get to wear suits!

Only when I audit banks. At the office we are allowed to be business casual. Nice jeans, nice shoes and a dress shirt for example.
