Taxes and paperwork in France (and Europe) really doesn't sound that bad to me. What does sound very different are the labor laws.

You can't just fire someone because its illegal to do so. You can't just hire a bunch of people quickly because people dont switch jobs as often. The team can't work 80 hrs a week because that isn't allowed either.

What's worse is that I heard rumors they don't allow slave labor either. Labor laws, ugh, they're the worst.

OK then, in your opinion what are the main reasons there are many more successful tech companies in the US vs EU?

The one that got me was an employee needs to give 3 months notice that they are quitting.

It’s typically 2 weeks in the US and that’s more a nice to have than a requirement.
