100% on this point. The vacation culture in tech (and consulting) is wild to  me. People I know in these positions seem to be on vacation every other week. They are easily spending 2-3k/month on travel.

I am in tech but I work for a smaller company. 

I feel like... I'm glad right now. 

Like. We don't have a culture like that. We work hard to meet deadlines, and I have an important role in the company. I feel like a culture like that is death. 

No growth, no exploration of abilities. All you get is the checkbox on your resume "I worked for a big 5 tech company!"

I'm certain it's not like that in every team, and some teams are probably hustlers. But wow.
