My first thought when reading this was "Jesus Christ are Germany's PTO policies generous."
In nations that are more work-centric (eg. the US) the possible billable hours will be nontrivially higher and thus the hourly rate will be significantly lower.
For instance, I know people who get only 10 days off per year minus holidays, meaning that they take a maximum of 10 days per year total. This also entails working ~8 Saturdays per year, which comes out to roughly 1850 hours per year.
It seems as though this type of calculation will vary widely based on location.

- drakeandrews 14y agoRemind me never to leave the EU. Seriously. Ten days, total, per year? I'd likely be dead within six months.
- Spooky23 14y agoThat's crazy. One of the incredibly attractive things about my job now is that I get 40 days of discretionary PTO. Sick time is separate. I took a reasonable paycut to get the gig, but its totally worth it. 10 days off a year is a joke.
