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.

Ok nice to hear that it is possible ;) See with the overall generalization one thinks in Europe we are constantly on holiday and in the US the people work 50-60 hours a week and have to count the days until the next vacation.
