The work-life balance of software engineers in North America is terrible compared to that in the UK.
40 hours is the normal maximum here. Weekends are clear. At least 4 weeks paid holiday that you must take (I get 6).
I've only just recently broken 6 figures in the UK and though I would have been there years ago in the US, there is no way I would trade in my free time for that extra cash.
- chrisseaton 6y ago> there is no way I would trade in my free time for that extra cash I don’t know what to tell you apart from you’re operating under some myths about North American companies. Hours, leave, on-call, compensation are all better at my North American company but working in the UK than what you’re boasting about in a European company. Why work for a European company? I have more free time but better pay where I am.
- smolder 6y agoThey spoke about US companies in the US, which is understandably different.
