well, we get that flexibility too, we have more holidays, and any overtime we do, can be recouped that way

depends on the manager, but i'm sure it's no different there, right?

there is also the salary difference, from what i hear , collegues of mine in the US , get a lot more it's only the exchange rate that kind of evens it out, but not quite...

yet housing, fuel , food stuff is all more expensive here
but we get cheaper health care (a grand a year, comes of the gross part of the salary, so it's tax free)

and all 30 holidays are payed, and many get a 13th month on top of it

so i think all in all, it's a different package, but not that much different in value of the package...
