Most on-site interviews require you to take a day off. If you've got 10 days of PTO, you can do a maximum of 10 interviews a year, and that's if you don't get sick or take any vacation. There is definitely a cost to interviewing.

Well, at no cost. Whether you can do more without adverse employment consequences depends on your company's unpaid leave policy.

Of course, if you only have 10 annual PTO days, that's a problem in itself.

The idea of only getting 10 days PTO a year continues to be incredible to me.
