How Many Days Off Do You Really Take With Unlimited PTO?

When I first landed a job offering unlimited PTO, I felt like I’d hit the jackpot. But as the months went by, I noticed something strange—I was actually taking fewer days off than I did at my previous job with a set vacation limit. As a 32-year-old woman working in tech, I found myself second-guessing every request for time off. Was I taking too much? Would my team think I wasn’t pulling my weight? The freedom of unlimited PTO sometimes comes with an unspoken pressure to always be available. I’d love to hear how others handle this. How many days do you actually take off each year, and do you feel supported by your workplace when you do?
