Not even that. Even 10.5/12 to 11/12 time would be great.
Why is it that senior employees with a $500K package are expected to take zero vacation time or are subject to disrespect? Why do people pride themselves in taking no vacation, guilting their peer-level leaders in the process? I'd gladly take 11/12 of that pay in return for being able to take a full 4-6 weeks off to myself to do things I want to do in life.
Personal travel, personal project, and family time are important, and that has nothing to do with how much passion I have for the job.

I find it hard to find the right time to take vacation - I'm almost always doing something interesting at work, so it's always stimulating enough that I won't think too much about taking time off for extended personal projects.
