Hi Magmax,
Am not sure if u'll get a clean answer on this. Anything is possible with
your employer.
The best thing is of course to work for yourself :)
A training expense of 5 to 10k annually seems reasonable for big companies.
But you have to work that out with your boss. It is a very fine line getting
the schedule and expense cap per employee....
But if joining a new company, any thing (from personal time off to salary to
benefit and to training...etc) is up negotiation. Whatever matters most to
u.
HTH,
