You do pay for healthcare, from the taxes on that salary.

Fun fact, so do Americans, just they don't get the service for it!

Fun fact, so do Brits. Just try scheduling a procedure with the NHS and check the wait time.

36 hours per week. 25 days vacation (going to 28). Pension contributions. You can buy extra leave. Epic location, fun job, decent salary for the UK (where e.g. you don't pay for healthcare)...

Yeah, the 25 days of vacation are a bit disappointing, in Germany 30 days are standard.

Talked to a German guy who was here on holiday recently. When I told him that in the US it's typical to get two weeks vacation when starting a new job, you should have seen his eyes bug out. It was hilarious.

He's serious. American programming salaries are an extreme outlier. You guys are in for a massive shock if they ever normalise.

American eng comp is commensurate with the money American tech brings in, you could even argue underpaid

Most of the “money American tech brings in” comes from the magnificent seven. US software engineering salaries are high even outside of those. In fact, it's high even in companies that are merely burning investor's money.
