It should be noted its not even universally true in the USA. I've never had to cover summer salary. It's always been a question of a hard vs. soft money percentage. Often one where just having to cover somewhere between 0 and 3 months would have been enviable.
- jll29 4y agoHa, I didn't know it can differ. You would think professors are smart enough that they would have created a salary comparison website where you can compare countries and universities by salaries and benefits, alas this has not been done. Worse, as my wise (accountant) wife points out, "What do you get for all this peer reviewing work? Nothing! Just wasting our family weekend to make publishers rich!" What I can say is in Europe, Ireland and Switzerland have rather good salaries for academics. German professors mostly get the same prescribed salary from a table based on level (W2 or W3) and seniority: https://www.academics.de/ratgeber/gehalt-professor-was-verdient-ein-professor#subnav_wie_viel_verdienen_w2-_und_w3-professoren https://www.academics.de/ratgeber/gehalt-professor-was-verdi...
