Just take the holidays between the jobs. :) I took 4 months off between my last job and my current job, even though I would have had the chance to start immediately.
In addition, some companies here also allow you to take unpaid holidays if justified. Even with an additional of two weeks of unpaid holidays I would earn more money here in the US than in Austria (and the available jobs are much more interesting).
- ugh 15y agoI guess that’s an alternative but what if I don’t want to switch jobs all that often? I personally need regular breaks. Irregular and really long breaks do less for me than regular breaks.
- lutorm 15y agoJust take the holidays between the jobs. That might work for the kind of jobs HN posters work at, but the people who are most likely to have little or no vacation are probably also the ones that can't actually afford to be without a job even for a week (if they can find a new one). Like so many other policies in the US, it works pretty well for the well-off, but keeps the working class toiling.
