What would you rather have, a 25% increase in pay or vacation time? It'd be nice to make more $$$, but working a 4 day week instead of 5 and still getting the same pay is tempting.

25% more pay is significant. I don't take all my vacation time as it is - last year I had 12 days, and had to take the last 8 days of the year b/c I hadn't used it all up. This year I have 3 weeks (15 days + 2) that I'm struggling to take before December.

It depends on the person. Some people wish they had more time to do stuff or to be with their families & friends. Other people just want more money and could care less if they have the time to spend it. Me, I personally would take the money since I work 9-5 anyway.

Id take more free time myself. 4 day work weeks and 3 day weekends would be awesome.

^ would you take a 25% pay cut to get a 4-day work week? What if it was 4-10s versus 4-8s?

i'd take pay for sure.. its a no brainer imo.. and if i could, work 4-10s and have 3 day weekends..



if not, still having weekends free +25% pay would PWN having to retain the same pay and have another free day.
