I landed a remote job for a European company, and now I'd find it hard to go back to a US-based company — I feel spoiled by the perks

Meghan Gezo loves working remotely for a European company so much that she'd find it hard to work for another US-based company in the future.

    While I’m very interested in her experience, this piece speaks very generally and makes a lot of unqualified (but obviously truthful) statements. I wish it was a little more granular. I mean it’s really really general.

    “They respect work hours. Vacation is respected as well. The time shift of working 6:30am-2:30pm is inconvenient but worth it. I have more time with my daughter.”

    It doesn’t really talk about corporate culture or give any specific stories, it doesn’t compare really talk about working at an Austrian company. It doesn’t talk about how her day to day feels being so differently sync’d with the US work day. Idk. It’s just lacking details and substance.

    It would be like my writing a piece about how it’s important to eat fruit and vegetables because they are good for you, and to cut back on sugar because a lot of it is bad for you. And I just leave it at that.
