Small corrections: first the standard US work year is about 240 days. Bit more than 180 - we had the same school year as Wolf, so it seems normal to me. That's two weeks' vacation and about ten holidays. In the corporate world two weeks is usual starting off; sometimes policy says you have to work 6 months or even a year before the first vacation is taken, but they're usually felxible about that. I'm never quite sure what a "mid-level manager" actually is, but I'm a first-level manager (no direct reports, but "manager" is in my title, and I'd consider myself on the level of people with lots of direct reports) and I have three weeks vacation. This is common, either because you've been with the company for a while by the time you make manager or because of your pay grade. This is fairly standard among engineering companies, which are all I know, but I've worked for companies from 50 people to uncounted thousands.
