Once you get beyond a certain threshold that's not really true. Or it's a story they tell themselves because they care more about money than other considerations.


Have you ever had a 1 month long holiday? Not sabbatical, just regular PTO.


Yes, multiple times--most recently a few years ago was close to that just pre-pandemic. Another probably 4x in the 3 week to 4 week range in previous job. Pretty standard tech industry jobs. More recently have had many other multi-week holidays that were a combination of tech events and pure PTO.

I realize a fair number of people can't do that or, commonly in my experience, feel that they can't do that but it's not actually impossible if that's what you prioritize.
