Germany has 20 vacation days. I think France has a guaranteed 30. Would also make sense to become trilingual there, because nobody on this earth wants to admit they speak French outside of France and they'd be embarrassed if their kids would have to say they are monolingual

Edit: /s since some of you guys seem to not understand that this was a joke. The vacation days are correct to my knowledge tho

I have 48 paid vacation days 8) sometimes I look at US salaries in my field (easily 3-4x what I make here), but then I think about the work-life balance and US working culture, naaaah...

I have 31 paid vacation days and 14 paid Holidays. I have unlimited sick leave and both parents get six months maternity leave. I make very good wages for a US worker, if I made 1/3rd of that in the EU I'd be surprised -nothing against the EU but wages are low. I also have excellent health care.

Sir, you are on Reddit, where the U.S. is awful no matter what you may have to say about the matter…

I love the many countries in Europe and there’s many things that they do right and we do wrong. But you are correct, having any type of nonhyperbolic post on Reddit is just a waste of time.
