It's mixed.

On the plus side, if I book out the family holidays and school holidays and and some time at Christmas and a few days for gigs or whatever, then as soon as something unexpected comes up I need to start horse-trading my days off to "balance" if I have a hard limit. With unlimited, I can just take the time for the unexpected thing without worrying about really accounting for it.

On the down side, it's clearly not _umlimited_. Managers talk about it in an unwritten "code" of what's reasonable. 35 days max, basically. Most roles in my industry in the UK will give you about 28 by default. So on that basis it's an extra week off.

This is my first year with it. I expect I'll be somewhere between 35 and 40 days by the end of the holiday year. I'm interested to hear what comes back as a result of that.
