    It took forever to get a corporate job but both corporate roles I’ve had provide decent PTO. Current job has 3 weeks PTO+ accrued sick time. The pay isnt good but at least I get time off.

    Other people I know in more corporate roles have similar pto but without the accrued sick time. The only time I didn’t get PTO was when I was working minimum wage jobs.

      From a European perspective, 3 weeks isn’t good. 24 days is the legal minimum where I live. 30 is standard.
      I got lucky and found a job with 42, and sick days aren’t counted against those.
      It’s honestly hard to take them sometimes. Not due to pushback from the employer, but because you have to find 42 days without fixed appointments.

      But if you don’t take your PTO, you are forced to by your team leader, otherwise the company can get in trouble.
