15 is the bare minimum for USA tech companies. I've seen a few not so stellar places offer 10.

Maybe in the right subsections. But 10 days for the first 2-3 years is very common and many companies argue they need consistency across staff.. then others offer you more or infinite vacation then give you a manager from hell with absurd deadlines to make sure you don't take any.

It's much nicer to live in a country with clear employment laws. (Particularly since not everyone around you will work in tech.)

Tech companies have to compete on 15. They can’t just offer fewer than Facebook google Microsoft Apple etc....

Some companies BS on unlimited vacation, but I ignore those unless I trust them alot.

If you've seen places that offer 10, then 15 is by definition not the bare minimum. In my experience, most places offer 10 days, and often it's PTO (combined vacation + sick leave).
