I was in process with a few us companies but they just refuse to give 6-8 payed vacation weeks :/

Yeah if you are going to work for a US company with US salary, be prepared to take US "vacations". They'll look at you weird if you ever mention that you want to take three weeks off.

That's a lot of time even for European standards. In the countries I've been, typically it's 3-5 weeks plus national holidays.

Minimum number of weeks in Sweden, Norway, Denmark and Finland is 5 weeks. Many employers are offering 6-8 as a perk. Since salaries are gutted by tax, other ways to compensate are used.

Those countries are the very top end of the European market, in terms of worker rights - and a pretty small minority in terms of population.
