I really would love to leave my current company for a variety of reasons - but I keep running into work/life balance issues when researching other places. is 15 PTO days really the standard? I get 21 at my current job along with federal holidays. I'd basically be losing 9 days off a year. Also, there seems to be this expectation that 45 hours is a totally reasonable work week. I might work more than 40 hours 4 times a year.

Me: 10 years of experience, DC area (federal contractor), average salary. I don't hate my job but I'm really ready to move on.

I'm curious as to what kind of hours people here work and what their PTO situation is like.

I know people regularly hit their PTO cap and they simply lose the PTO they continue to accrue. Time off, just vaporizing into thin air.

The only explanation I can think of is that their home life is miserable and they would rather work than be around their spouse/children.
