>Those extra hours? Only if the team really needs them.
? I started a new job a year ago. Overtime pay in contract. I gladly work and report overtime as I get paid way more :) BUT there has to be a real reason, such as deadline, alarm/alert and such.
You people are just lost. But I am in Sweden with a union job hehehe
Same here, some of your southern neighbours also have unions on IT, as a union in general covers specific industries, regardless of what job each person does in the building.
As a tip for others as well, even without an union it helps to be aware of the country labour laws even if superficially.
Yeah, but compare the salaries to the US and then factor in taxes.
Do this comparison both ways and factor in what you pay in addition for American high-stress/low-quality healthcare, college, retirement, etc. If you’re on the higher-end of the SV tech salaries, you’ll probably still come out ahead but for everyone else even Denmark tends to be cheaper.
And healthcare, public transport, vacations, sick leave, maternity and paternity leave, layoff notice, layoff package, ....
Personally the salary isn't worth it.
