I would and I am sane of mind.

30 days' vacation (24 by law, the extra 6 were because effective union), so much sick leave that I don't know anyone who exhausted it with anything less than a long term disability, and extremely strong employee protections once you're past an initial 6 month trial period, as well as amazing parental leave/part-time policies enshrined in the law, backed up by sector-wide unions and company Betriebsrat (Works Council).

All helps keep me sane, anyway.

Ok so most SWEs in the US get 25 days of vacation and make what, 4x what the average SWE in germany makes?
