Serious question, had to choose between a 5% raise or extra vacation days this year.

I took the extra week off, and honestly, the mental reset made me way more productive than a slightly bigger check would have. Anyone else ever picked the non-cash option and been surprised?

Glad it worked for you, but a 5% raise compounds every year, while the vacation is a one-time thing. Did you factor that in?

Totally agree with that point. The math on compounding raises is hard to beat long term. I took extra time off once and really missed that future money.

Ever heard of burnout? Money can't fix that.
