I usually get two weeks vacation, one week sick time. I haven't been anywhere more than 3 years in a row, though, and that was an improvement over being a contract worker for years and getting no PTO other than a handful of holidays.

The large tech company that pays me has a schedule of accruing 10 days/year until year 4, 15/yr until year 14, and 20 days after that.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Is that just sick time? I can't believe that's all the time off you got.
Whoops. That was vacation/PTO. I've never had sick time rolled in, so my eyes glanced right over it. One week/year in Michigan, two at my first CA job, and not sure about here.

Oh, that was vacation time. Sick leave is 10/year, it rolls over and has no upper limit.

"We are the Goon Squad and we're coming to town...Beep! Beep!" - David Bowie, "Fashion"
I've been here 12.5 years, and I get 20 vacation days, 5 personal days and 8 sick days a year. A certain amount of the vacation and all of the sick time can be carried over, but the personal days are use or lose during the year.
I started at 10 days vacation, but I maxed out on how much I can get a good while ago, unless I ascend.

I am an admin assistant, but all people in my university, including tech people, get the same vacation benefits
After being here 6 years, I get 18 vacation days and 1 week PTO/sick time. I am hourly. At the same time worked, were I salaried, I would get 20 vacation days and unlimited sick time.

I get 20 days combined vacation/sick leave, though this year we get an extra bonus week in place of the shorter Friday summer hours we got last year. Which suits me much better, as I still have to spend 3 hours driving and $20 gas for days that end at 2pm.

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there
I get 18 days combined sick/personal/vacation. At my last place I had two weeks vacation and unknown sick time - nobody ever called me on it, anyway.
For a person in reasonable health with no dependents, having it all lumped together like that is a pretty good deal. I'm actually probably less likely to take "I just don't feel like it" sick days because I don't want to spent vacation on it - but if I decide to, I don't have to fake sick. If you have kids, I suspect it's a different calculation.

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?
At my old job, I had been there 11 years and had 20 vacation days/5 sick days/2 personal days. The sick and personal days were company wide and not dependent on how long you had been there.

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"
I would have been getting 20 days vacation when I hit year 11 at my former job.
