What do you mean by DACH mentality?
- croisillon 2y agogerman speaking countries
- _nalply 2y agoNitpick: Luxemburg, Belgium (around Eupen), Italy (Tirol) and France (Alsace) are also German speaking countries. Historically, too: Poland, Czechia, Hungary and Romania, but German speaking communities have disappeared or are in massive decline. Disclaimer: this list of German speaking countries might be incomplete.
- croisillon 2y agoyou forgot Ibiza ;) "countries with a german speaking majority" might be more correct
- _nalply 2y agoIbiza doesn't count or all countries of the world would be English speaking.
- rad_gruchalski 2y agoAs a Polish person I have no idea how you can come out in public and state that Poland was ever a German speaking country.
- _nalply 2y agoDACH = Deutschland (D) - Austria (A) - Switzerland (CH) but DACH mentality? Perhaps hard-working like people in Germany, Austria and Switzerland? Or overengineering or being stubborn and old-fashioned?
- raverbashing 2y ago> Or overengineering or being stubborn and old-fashioned? Exactly this
- shortrounddev2 2y agoLow salaries to me indicates they believe it is a Germanic ideal to pay subpar wages for highly skilled engineers? I don't think it's a mentality thing, personally, I think it just speaks to the weakness of the European economy for the last 20ish years
- formerly_proven 2y agoHighly skilled engineers leave to places where they get their money's worth (i.e. not germany/eu).
- snowpid 2y agoThat shouldn't the USA as there are more people moving from there to Germany than vice versa.
- tormeh 2y agoDepends. If you want to live a good life you stay in the EU. If you have the will and ability to do great things professionally (not many do) then in most industries you need to move to the US to do it. There’s just not enough high-risk capital here for exciting projects to be done. I suspect comes from market size. Financiers won’t take high risk without high reward, and the reward is not here.
- snowpid 2y agoPlease think about context. GP thinks, there was a weak European economy, esspecially about Germany in the last 20 years. This was not the case and even during the current struggle in Germany (not German swiss), more people from the US move here
- polotics 2y agoDACH would be: (D)eutschland (A)ustria (C)onfederatio (H)elvetica... This acronym manages to use three different languages, german for Deutschland, english for Austria (which is Österreich) and the latin name for Switzerland... Don't ask me, it is very dubious to use this DACH hodgepodge term here, as definitely mentalities are different: the state of IT is in no way identical between these three countries. Also, Dach stands for "roof" in German, I guess that's why they like it. maybe

- petesergeant 2y agoThose are the EU plate letters for each fwiw
- rad_gruchalski 2y agoNot exactly. Only D and A. Switzerland is not in the EU (it's in the EEA but not EU) and doesn't have number plates following the EU design. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vehicle_registration_plates_of_Switzerland https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vehicle_registration_plates_of...
- petesergeant 2y agoOK fine, it’s the international plate code for Switzerland: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/International_vehicle_registration_code https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/International_vehicle_regist...
