[QUOTE="Bullitt 3309, post: 15135816, member: 134339"] I transitioned to the corp world after 21 yrs active duty AF in 2010. A couple of points for you to think about based on my own experiences. 1. Your not gonna see "30" days paid leave entry level anything. Maybe as a "C" level exec... 2. IT wouldn't hurt to try negotiating more vacation, but be prepared to give up some pay to get it. 3. Like you my offer was about 15% higher than I anticipated for the position based on research into the local area and my earned PTO (paid leave) came out to 80 hrs a year or two weeks. The first year of my job I only took 40hrs of PTO since I got all the regular holidays off without using it and I rolled the remainder over to the next calendar year. I also fill a critical position so I have to coordinate in advance any major time off anyway. At the end of the day, the earned PTO isnt that big of a deal that I thought it would be after enjoying 21ys of the 30 days of leave. You will find the corporate world alot more laid back compared to Active Duty and its easier to do things with out taking a month off. 4. Like others have said HR might just poopoo on any attempts to get more leave based on strict company policy, so be prepared to take it or leave it. Good Luck and welcome to civilian life, its wonderful! [/QUOTE]
