This is bound to happen if there are no worker protection provisions at federal level. Nobody cares about them when things are going great and it’s an employee market. But when things go south, employers have no limits.

I can’t speak for deloitte, but zoom will get awarded for this by wall street. The more layoffs or cutting employee benefits, the higher your stock gets a boost.

Yes, once you factor in healthcare costs, pension benefits, education costs (if you have kids), paid holidays & sick leave, maternity & paternity leave, bereavement leave, car schemes, relatively long notice periods (eg 3 months paid), workers rights (eg redundancy pay), then the US salaries only look attractive if you are a risk taker. Otherwise the salaries generally even out. I'd say USA is better when you're young, and mid/older people would probably be better off with the certainty in Europe.

Americans also work much longer hours in my experience, and they don't take many days off during the year.

I am looking into the CCP (Certified Compensation Professional). It seems to be quite an expensive exam.

If anyone else is studying, let me know and maybe we can share study materials!

For those who have taken it, are there any cheaper or alternative study materials to any official guides you would recommend? I went this route with the PHR and SHRM-SCP and passed each on the both try, so I wanted to see if that method may be viable here. Any recommended order to take courses in?
