How much PTO do you get?

Question

I've worked for a number of different companies throughout the years and they all had fairly differing policies.One was 20 days PTO plus a couple of weeks off for the holidays. Another was "unlimited" as long as you had your main projects on track/done/someone covered for you. Another is 3-4 days per year.I know there's no "right" answer, I'm just trying to get a feel for what's "normal" these days.

"Unlimited" with the caveat that 4-5 weeks is typical and anything over 6 weeks requires multiple layers of management going to bat for you.

Small companies, 0 PTO for a year and 5 holidays then 5 PTO days after a year.
Big companies offer more days.
If you are a contractor 0 PTO days and Holidays mean you don’t get paid.
