Total hours of work per week 33, standard in the UK is 37.5 but I have a good boss. I work Monday - Thursday 08:00-16:30 with an unpaid hours break. Friday 09:00-12:00. Tuesday and Thursday are office days, the rest are from home.
Holidays (vacation) we start with 20 days per year increasing 1 day per year for a maximum of 25 days total.
Sickness, unlimited within reason but even then it’s unlimited. I’m not happy a lot of the time and so I much have been off sick for 4-5 weeks this year in total and never once been pulled up about it, again my boss is good. Other jobs would typically put you on a development plan if had more than 3 instances of sickness, but even then they would work with you until you got better.
Healthcare, we live in the Uk. It’s free at point of service as it’s factored into what we pay out of wages.
Cost of living is quite high but I wouldn’t say worse than the USA. But everything is pretty much 33-50% more expensive than pre covid. Rent is insane.
I should say that as a software engineer, two years in, that my salary is probably lower than many many companies but for me I like time more than I like money and their is literally never stress at work, it either gets done on time or it doesn’t. We all come first.
Sure.
