I have ~ 15y of experience and I have a grand total of 3 weeks PTO. My father, at my age had 5 whole weeks and doesn't understand why I don't take big trips more. Despite the trend in 'unlimited vacation', I feel it's only getting worse.

Unlimited vacation has the greatest negative spread between "how it sounds" and "how it actually works". It's incredibly employee unfriendly.

As a leader, I will fight against it every time it gets proposed.

^^ you're correct on average, this is why it's good to establish in the interview what is common, how much is taken by higher ups etc.

If they push back you can literally say to the manager "You told me that 6 weeks was normal"
