> That’s tougher in most of Europe, where labor laws making hiring and firing strikingly expensive. That is true. Personally and anecdotally I find that to be a good thing. I feel much more comfortable with 35h work week, 35 days of paid vacation making €60k without living in the fear of getting fired the next day. Even if I could get more money in the US, I highly doubt that my standard of living would increase enough to justify the uncertainty that would come with this move. And I think that difference is even more extreme with jobs that don’t require years of education beforehand.
