If you’re happy in Germany so be it.
You dont need us money-crazed weirdos to tell you how to live your life.
30 days vacation, well in the US you can have 20. And take 10 days more as unpaid - and you're still left will much more money.
WLB is a myth in IT as well. Outside IT, yes, Germans are very strict about WLB.
You can double your TC in US, but dont expect time off like that. You will also pay for anything health related. We also probably have shittier beer in most circumstances.
Most US big tech companies are now ‘unlimited vacation’ which usually equates to you being able to get 4 weeks off along with a random assortment of company holidays. Rarely is time off taken in a block larger then two weeks and you normally only see that happening once a year for most employees(if at all).
I hate when people think in Europe you don't pay. When I lived in EU I always had to pay because wait times are just insane if you don't pay. Also, if you're in Eastern Europe, you're expected to bribe a doctor on every visit.
