Ask HN: Any companies allow 2-3 months off/year

Posted by anonhippie on Wednesday March 08, 2017 @05:15PM
from the ask-hn dept.

I genuinely love software engineering and am pretty good at it but am not an internet famous engineer. I also love travel/adventuring and don't want to wait for retirement before I can take long, frequent (annually) hiking/climbing/surfing trips. Are there any companies out there that offer 2-3 month long annual vacations? I'm looking specifically for companies in the US that pay market-rate but obviously prorated salaries.

Intel offers a 2-month paid sabbatical every 7 years of service, or a 1-month paid sabbatical every 4 years of service. There are many other companies which have sabbaticals. [0] [1]

Have you thought about freelancing?
