I've worked at three weeks,5 weeks and unlimited. The reality is that I like 5 weeks more than Unlimited. When I was working unlimited I actually was able to take as much time as I wanted, but it was obvious that different employees had different trust levels in the vacation system. No one would stand in my way, but it was very apparent that certain people were just not comfortable either with me leaving or with taking the time they need themselves. Additionally having unlimited time off means that you do not earn that value when you quit. I have used the money from saved up vacation to sponsor my next job search. This gives me enough time 2 develop new interests and gain traction on a new project.

When I was working at 5 weeks, I generally average using four weeks a year
