30 days? I got 25 and something in the range of 25 to 28 is the most common. 30 is unusual, if you're not in a unionized job, older, negotiated hard for it etc.

I would say it's a general education bubble in the US that is still build on the claim that the system can work for everyone - as long as you just try hard enough.
