I'm 47, father of 3, been employed without missing a beat for 32 years. If I ever had a set number of 'vacation days' you damn well bet I may give up a small amt of money to get more time off.

I feel like context is important here

I've been motivated by salary for almost 20 years. Know what? Vacation sounds pretty god damned sweet.

Most millennials want both, and a lot get it because the previous two generations don't have the skills that are most in demand right now.

I'm sure there are a lot of variables at play here
a person making $35k would probably take a $10k raise over another week vacation moreso than a person making $100k, for example

Salaries are overrated. It's all about the perks.

False
I am a millennial and I always negotiate "guaranteed money" above all (Vacation, Benefits, etc.).
frick the bonus shite. I want straight cash homie.

I'm guessing nearly everyone would prefer one or the other up to a point (sliding scale). I'd rather an extra week of vacation over 1k in salary but would rather 10k in salary over an extra week of vacation.

I would definitely take a 40 hour pay cut on my salary to get 40 hours more vacation.
Once you get your money situation squared away, time becomes your limited resource. And when I die, I will have money, but I will not have any time left.

Of course they are, they also think a work day involves playing on social media for a minimum of two hours a day.

Money is nice.
Sitting in my boxers eating pancakes and watching Matlock, etc all day is nice too.

This all the way.
I don't see why this would be a bad thing.

This was told to me by someone in HR for a fairly large company. Do you find this to be true or false?
Well, it would depend on the delta between the two...
If a company is paying significantly less than market rate, then vacation time would certainly be a motivator for them.
That said, the "catch" with "unlimited vacation" that some companies use, is that most people do not, generally, use the 2-3 weeks of vacation that most people are allotted. Also, most of those same companies lure you in with the promise of unlimited vacation, but then will inform you that it has to be approved, so if you have an a-hole-ish manager, then your unlimited vacation turns to limited quickly.
In the end, if the offered salary is shite, then vacation could be a deciding factor for someone that wants to work at that company. But, if you go to a company that will pay above market rate, then vacation will be less of a factor. But, if you're not offering at least two-weeks at this point, then you're behind the 8-ball.

Don't believe you. Post your offer letter, Volod.
