I'm a programmer in the US, and I get 4 weeks paid vacation plus 2 weeks paid sick leave plus 10 paid holidays.
At my previous job I got 4 weeks vacation (it would have gone up to 5 weeks after 4 years) plus (I forget how much) paid sick leave plus 6 paid holidays.
At the one before that I got 4 weeks vacation plus unlimited (within reason) paid sick leave plus 10 paid holidays.
In other words, you don't need to move to Europe. You just need to find a better job.
