Everybody knows that American techies have it way better than those in Europe, right? Look at the huge funding rounds and salaries. Look at all the humongous exits and glitzy success stories. Must be nice. But what’s the minimum legally required number of days of paid leave in the US? Could it be as little as three weeks? Or even two? Nope, it’s zero. As in none. Which means that even the fanciest VC you know takes minimal time off. While they might have billions, they’ve never taken a three-week vacation in their lives and it shows.
