Yes. I have 30 days off a year, free lunch, opportunity to travel abroad on business, morale type party events in office, I get to "ship things", and I solve challenging technical problems in a true full stack role. This is the first job I've had where I actually had to be up on algorithms as we use a ton of graph theory.

Where do I work? A big wall street bank most people in this thread would never bother replying to if recruited. This situation may be unique...I don't know, but you can't find out without exploring the opportunity.

Banks.

I was talking to a friend of mine yesterday who went into detail about the exceedingly generous PTO packages offered by her employers when she worked in the banking industry. I was very impressed.

I work at at a big co: I'm given about 2 months off per year, flexible hours and a work from home option.

Of course, I'm selling this year's PTO back to the company because I was under pressure not to use it, and since every week is crunch time, required working hours are 8:30-6 Mon-Sat in the office.

Point being, offerings are meaningless unless corporate culture allows you to use them.

Sounds like every company I've ever worked at in in Sweden.

Yes but they aren't hiring.
