Same experience here. I can once in a while smell things, but it doesn't last long, and I can't correlate the smell a perfume is supposed to represent to what it actually represents (so, a perfume that smells like roses smells lik

You're getting around 34 hours per week for German employees assuming they don't get sick. US employees in these tech companies either get unlimited time off or generous vacation time anyways, and in average I doubt they take less

> Argentinians do that coz Argentinian banks cannot be trusted Incorrect. Argentinians do that because taxes are incredibly high, and if you earn in USD you must sell it at the official dollar rate (less than half of the real rate), and

You can get way more than 100k if you’re applying to tier 1 and tier 2 companies in Berlin. I’m at around 160k (6 yoe); but I agree with you, we are getting paid less for the same work as our American coworkers

If Japan's law enforcement for this is anything like Germany's, this only applies if you're actually breaking traffic laws --- as in, the police will never stop you normally unless you cross a red or something, and only then
