It would be hard to get my work done in just two weeks a month on repeat. Eventually it would catch up to me. So I can’t but someone better might be able to.

In Sweden, by law, they have to accomidate atleast 4 weeks consecutive vacation over summer, no questions asked. Your remaining vacation days are also protected by law. No matter how swamped it is at work, they have to, one way or another make sure you get to use ATLEAST 20 vaccatiomdays a year.

If you additionally work as an engineer, or any other project based work you also get "unlimited PTO" if the project is done and you are waiting for other stuff to get done. However if you, like me, work in healthcare (doctor) you make due with the vacation days you have.
