I‘ve been to the US for a long vacation (4,5 weeks or with traveltime and rest day before and after a whole month). I was able to do this because I have 35 days of vacation (a bonus program from my employer, stay more then x years and your vacation days increase. I have the maximum after 7 years) While I was traveling through south California and Arizona I dreamed how awesome it would be to live here and be able to visit more awesome sites without a 11-13h flight and all the other costs. Then I realized: If I would live and work here I might not get the vacation days I‘m used to, to do all these things. Bubble bursted for the time being. Or are there exceptions? I also include a normal weekly hour rate. I work 40h a week and can be very flexible with these times.

I get ~28 vacation days per year in the US, and I've only been with my company for 5 years. It's going to heavily depend on your industry and level of experience. Even outside of vacation I also have a pretty relaxed work/life balance. If I want to visit family for 2 weeks but not take a bunch of vacation my boss isn't going to care if I work half days remote the whole time.
