  I get 35 days of holiday a year. I have been in my role for a number of years to have been allocated this number, though.

  As many as I like, because I now work for my own company 😉
  However, in reality I probably take around 30 days a year.

  When starting in tech, its normal to have around 28 days holiday (including bank holidays). This number can increase over time if you stay in your role!

  I get unlimited holidays (though I’ve only planning to take about 40 this year) – I am a contractor so I only get paid for the hours I work, as long as it’s preplanned they are happy for me to go on holiday whenever.
  I think if I was staff with paid holidays I would get around 35 paid holidays a year, plus I can take some unpaid leave.
