Yeah, 10 vacation days is pretty standard. Usually it's like 10 vacation days + 2-5 sick days, so like 15 days max. After like 3-5 more years with the company, maybe you get like 20 days, but 25 like minimum is pretty rare imo

Unlimited PTO is often so employers don't have to pay out vacation days as part of termination pay.

And it's a psychological thing. Employees tend to actually use less time off in those places.

It's not done or of the goodness of the employers heart.
