Imagine paying for health insurance. Might as well burn your money, at least you'd get some heat.
Or hope you get hired by a European based company that gives a little bit more of a shit about you
Holy cow, is that a thing?!
Some stuff in the US is pretty cool and money is nice and all, but then I have friends in senior positions within big tech who have only 12 days of paid time off which is real shitty.
At least they can work remotely for a few days so they get a couple of decent holidays, but that just means they can never fully disconnect.
And they can just use the healthcare system here when they're back, which is nice for them but I'm sure not everyone has that luxury.
I think approximately 30 days off is pretty much standard in the developed world, with 23-27 of those being whenever and 3-7 being fixed public holidays (nyd, Christmas etc)
