An EU blue card, 21 months approx for a PR. Good salaries, subsidised quality education for kids, fairly cheaper health care and access to international professional and social network.

Adding more it’s a 6-7 hour direct flight to India. If I’m working in a metro in India it could take a day for me to be back to family in my hometown, it takes a bit more from Germany.

To add 40 paid vacation days and are kind of pushed to take those off for mental health.

Where exactly can you get 40 paid vacation days? I'm also in Europe and the standard is 25 where I live.

In Belgium the standard was 20 but government forced to make the work week 36 hours & most company’s had 40. So they started giving 1 day per month extra off. It’s 32 now as the unofficial standard. In DE a contact gets 35.

Plus you’re eligible to take day off when you’re moving, have a family event(your or close family’s death or wedding).

Not counting the sick leaves here which obv do not get deducted from these
