As a European I am very aware of that. But like I said about dollar amounts, the extra you can earn in the US made the move worth it for me personally.
I suspect many/most of the people in the highly paid areas of the tech sector in the US would not actually jump for 2-3 weeks of unpaid leave per year (without other consequences--which I realize is an issue if you're a small minority that takes the offer).
Personally, I always have taken my max time off and even taken unpaid leave for shutdown when that was an option but I realize that's probably not the majority.
