Do it!

I'm 36 and my current gig offers 5 weeks vacation, and I just came back from 3 months (topped up) parental leave.

Life is too beautiful to work 5 days a week

Depending on how tied to the USA you are, you could also consider a move to the EU, where 4 weeks vacation are basically the minimum everywhere.

6 weeks standard in the UK.

I'm in my mid 20s and I'll never go back to 5 days workweek, definitely go for it, it's a life changing move, no amount of money makes up for time lost

Oh I would easily take a 20% paycut to have Fridays off forever.

Me too - but there are now companies offering a 4 day week with 0% drop in salary

0% drop compared to what company? Stripe? Uber? Google?

Compared to the salary the company offered before they switched to a 4 day work week

I'm 47 and I just left my last job. I'm going to take some time off, but I'm committed to only working 4 days per week or less when I look for my next position.
