In EU all of these are mostly illegal and void, or strictly limited. You have to pay a good salary for the whole duration (up to two years), and let the employer know months before them leave. Almost right after they are fired.
I will not vote. But give me US salaries in Germany please. All these €100k@35 hours workweek offers are boring. It’s almost top salary for senior level developers at big companies. Mostly no stock at all. I will sign probably every shady document for one million € stock compensation.
I missed my chance for the great relocation. But buddies in New York and San Diego are doing just fine. Both of them make total comp of roughly quarter million and are buying everything they want. The food is good, hospitals modern and clean.
Sound like a better solution?
