What you call very good is almost the minimum (24) vacation days in germany plus you get public holidays ontop of which range from 10-12 (in a good year most of them are during the workweek).

Here people who have good jobs can get ~35 vacation days.

Right but I (and I assume others) wouldn’t trade 100-200k usd per year for 5-10 more days.

Not to mention most in that environment have plenty of flexible work arrangements as well.

I also CAN take unpaid extra days and most years do, in essence doing that trade for a better price (~1k per day), but I recognize it’s not that common in the US.
