The counter to that counter is that I have been told that software jobs in Germany start out as very low paying. My friend who moved to Germany to work as a programmer ended up only getting about $30k a year to start, which at the time was less than half of what our peers were making in the US.
That said, I think probationary periods are one of the best ideas the US needs to adopt.
- manishsharan 2y ago>>probationary periods are one of the best ideas the US needs to adopt May I ask why? Both Canada and USA allow employers to fire with 2 weeks (or a month .. I forget )notice.
- ushtaritk421 2y agoIn the US you can be fired with 0 notice or severance, regardless of tenure in most states.
- legitster 2y agoEven though you are entitled to fire people in the US, there are a lot of differing state and city rules. You are also open to (potential) lawsuits at all times. There are also now a lot of very obtuse rules about things like healthcare coverage for full time employees. There's an extra layer of simplicity when it comes to probationary periods.
