In Sweden we have at least 5 weeks paid leave a year. My company has 6 weeks and my friend who works for the state (?) has 7 weeks... When you are sick you still get paid 80% and when you are pregnant you can stay home for 2 years and still get money... As a person who lives in Sweden i'm always surprised by how shitty America is in so many ways and yet most people think it's the best place in the world.....
it's 5 weeks minimum in France too (I'm French) and some companies have even more than that if they work 39 hours a week (officially it's 35 hours a week but if you work more, you get paid leave days called RTT).
yeah I hear you on the people think america is so great part I am black living in this crappy country and quite a few blacks have left america. I can't wait to travel when its the right time for me.
😯😯😯😯😯😯😯😯😯😯😯😯😯😯😯😯😯😯😯😯😯😯😯 you can have paid pregnancy leave for 2 yearsss in Sweden ?!?!?....wowwww I'm American, I live in Atlanta, Georgia and I distinctly remember growing up speaking with my teachers about how they are dreading going out on pregnancy leave only to be rushed back in a month or two...wow ! Your country seems to be a lot more caring and understanding..I'm genuinely shocked at this statement...even sick leave here for most companies accumulates based on his many hours you've worked for within the company
@@browngirlreading Hello Im interested in online teaching. Which certification is better for France, Europe? I am currently looking at attending a school in England. Thank you
@@tianagadsden4843 The TEFL and the CELTA and sometimes a university diploma are required. I personally have a BA in English Literature and a TEFL Diploma, which I've been working with since the year 2000. So if you're going to study in England you'll most likely get a CELTA which is excellent too.
Girl! The United States could NEVER! Got me wanting to apply for a job in France! I literally went home sick from work today. I should've just called off, but I didn't. When I told my boss and coworkers that I was going home early, I thought I was gonna get jumped! Lol!
Being Parisian, I actually loved your insight from an American perspective. It's really interesting. All of what you explain is so "normal" to me that I never really stopped to think about that, but I really enjoy your content :)
Girl, ALL of your content is what I need in my life. Whew! You're literally a breath of fresh air. Thank you for this (and all) videos!! I'm 1:37 in and I can't wait to hear this because I've been getting some advice that has led me to lean more toward studying abroad vs. continuing the job search. I'm from Louisiana originally (and went to an HBCU in New Orleans), so I'm telling you - I sooo appreciate your perspectives. Hope you're well! Keep your awesome optimism and positive attitude!! Hang in there (with this job/economic shift situation). Cheers!
KTC 1908 I’m so happy that my content has been helpful for you! And I totally get that - when I decided to move I was in between finding a new job in NYC or studying abroad. Weigh all of your options and trust that you will make the right decision for you!! Thanks so much for your kind words I so appreciate it! 🖤
Very entertaining, dear Tiffanie. I was in France in 1976 -1977 and the only job I could get was living with a family as a nanny for the children. I had a B.A. in French and spoke fairly well due to my junior year abroad experience. Foreigners were not even allowed open a bank account, much less work. I took the GMAT in Paris to apply to American graduate schools in business, and got into Syracuse. Always wanted to work in France, never found a way. Bravo for your success, and aren't we all glad that life has changed. The best way to learn French is to watch the news on TV. France 2. Go for it. Since 2000, I only watch TV in French. Bisous et Bonne continuation!
12:13 Major difference in France for healthcare, no copay (or very small), no deductible, and no employee deciding over a doctor if you can or cannot get this procedure you need.
I lived in Paris for 3 yrs and loved it though it was tough for me. I worked in television production and media in the states and going to Paris on a student visa made finding career employment impossible. I ended up back in the states because changing my visa status just wasn't happening. I've been back to visit since leaving but really want to move back and trying to figure out how to make it happen. I'm cooling my heels in NYC but Paris is home.
So good to know im not the only one who binged watched all your videos. I would love to know how you meet and make friends. As well as how you feel safety is compared to US. Love your videos. love the vibes Stay safe
Onlyjanessa Hey there! When it came to making friends - to be honest my closest friends were either from my MBA program or I met at work! But I’ve also met some really cool people in the city - one through blogging & another just randomly in these Paris streets! Sorry, probably not too helpful but I think when you’re open to receiving the right people are placed in your life. I do feel safe in Paris, but I’ve heard that you do have to be careful in some parts of the the suburbs!
Hi Tiffanie! I spent 6 years living abroad in Italy/Spain/Asia and it's really nice to hear your perspective on living in France and giving us a look in you day-to-day life. (Especially during quarantine!) As you've lived in California/NYC and now Europe I'm curious as to where/if you see a long-term place? That's my biggest challenge right now.
This is how we are at LVMH! No eating at your desk(which is sad bc i like to have a snack lol), everyone is lovely and passionate about what they do. I absolutely love it! I’m trying to get into the corporate office in France after I finish school and I’m just counting the days :)
Thank you so much the information. I have applied for a MBA program in Lyon and really excited about the opportunity. Listening to your take of things, I'm now extremely excited. Do you know anyone who came with their families in tow? I will be coming with hubby and 2 little ones.
I'm excited for you! Many students came with their husbands, but I'm sure you will be fine with your family here. It will be an awesome experience for all of you. Goodluck with your program! x
Sis I love all of your videos, they’re so helpful! I’m starting my MBA program this fall in the US and I’m seriously considering moving to France (specifically Marseilles) after school. I’m doing everything that I can to make myself as marketable as possible (building connections, learning multiple languages, etc). Keep the videos coming girl😍💞🙌🏾!!
OMG I cannot believe I stumbled upon your channel in my recommended page! I will attending ESSEC Business School in the Luxury track this Sep 2020!! Your video was great insight! Just subscribed :)
I love this, so informative. I did hear the French really take time to eat slowly and digest. I wanna visit Paris one day but for now I love hearing about it. Keep up the good work.
yes we can eat faster during the week because of the job but in general we really love to take our time ! It is good to talk with the family and children etc it s like a social moment to share with other people :)
i love the fact you say that you work at an international company yet you are the only real non french person! i lived the samed thing! i chose to do my end of studies internship in an international company in Paris and i was so gutted to see that i was the only person with an international profil, all the others were 100 % french... i was also so shocked when i saw the amount of time they spent eating at lunchtime and how important it was for them!! so akward for someone like me who has always been used to eating a sandwich in 5 minutes at my desk! haha
You showed up in my recommendations, I'm not planning to move to Paris (I've visited once) but this is a great channel! It was so interesting to see how the work environment is and all the perks they give their employees. Subscribed!
@@grill38 For sure, but the laws about work are the same ! (one hour break for lunch if you work more than 6h a day / the food / the private assurance/ 30 days minimum of paid vacation etc)
Omg I love your channel (and your beautiful!) ! I'm planning to move to Paris (from Ireland)for a gap year first before I start my course and also start a RUclips channel! I wish you all the best 😍

Please keep these types of videos coming. I am getting my masters at Grenoble Ecole de Management this September and want to stay in France or a french speaking country to work after.
I love how fiscally smart & practical you are 😊 A breath of fresh air compared to many young ladies I've come across on this platform who seem to live for clothes & makeup
Really helpful! I’m in Italy and I’ll be graduating soon and applying to jobs here and I think a lot of the culture around breaks and food will be similar lol.
All the job benefits seem so nice! Americans can learn a thing or too from that kind of work culture. I am American and am looking to move to France one day so this was all very helpful thank you.
Hello Just stumbled on your videos. Have answered sooooooo many questions I've had bcuz I have visited Paris, France a few times and I dream of living there some time soon. Thank you so much for your insightful videos, well... they're insightful to me, None the Less, you're awesome, you're a delight and seem like a really cool person. I look forward to the video of studying abroad. Keep em coming!! YOU ROCK!!!
Awesome video so informative. I also watched a couple of your other videos great content. I was in Paris and Italy with my 2 young adult kids last year (World Cup) and had tickets to return with husband this year. Enter Covid. We live in Oakland maybe 2021, till then I’ll follow you. 👍🏽. New subbie
Hello Tiffanie, I watched several of your videos and found them very informative and presented in such away that should inspire others to responsibly explore and expand their own boundaries of opportunities without hopelessly settling for someone else’s imposed limitations. Mes Amitiés, -CA
We get 4 weeks paid annual leave in Australia! As well as public holidays like Christmas. The US is so weird to me, I couldn't live without it haha. And don't get me started on maternity leave
Tamara Chehade Thank you! To be honest with you on the team that I worked on only two of us had an MBA, everyone else had a masters. So judging from that I think your masters should be totally okay. Is your masters from a French school? If so you’re golden!
This was very helpful. I was not aware of the all the work benefits or general attitude about work. However, as someone who is learning French for a move abroad, I have learned that les vacances is a BIG DEAL- and I just love them for that. 😘
Glad it was helpful! Yeah, the work benefits in France are really great. Very cool that you are planning to move abroad and kudos to you for planning ahead and learning french beforehand, that's the right way to do it!
Curare Wellness be sure to check before going as it depends on the jobs, my sister is working for a fashion brand (she is in marketing), she works like crazy, les vacances is more like distance work and gives back sh...t loads of money back to taxes. I am French and worked in the UK, I had to moved back to France because of Brexit, yes there is benefits working in France but I am job hunting in other countries as the system is at its limit and it will defo falls appart soon, government doesn’t have any money left to support such a system. Sure some jobs will be fine but again make sure of that before going.
Hi Tiffanie! I’m thinking about relocating to France. I just graduated this past Spring with a degree in public relations. I would love to connect with you!
Hey Fennzia! Super excited to hear that you are thinking of moving to France! I've been getting a handful of inquiries around this so I'm working on offering a service where I can connect with you 1 to 1 to answer questions outside of what I share on my channel! Feel free to shoot me an e-mail at itstiffaniedavis@gmail.com so that I can keep you on file! Stay tuned! x
yes please note that the ununployment rate is high in France and our students desperatly need jobs , I think you should focus on making america better, it's not like you come from a country that is at war, poor or has no opportunities for it's youth. Plus your president does'nt want us on his soil , so .
Hi, i apreciate alot your content, thanks! i think it would be a great idea to find bring people from other careers to explain how is it in their profesions, i study fashion design and would love to know how is working in the fashion industry up there!! thanks!
Covering half the cost of travel is compulsory, with exceptions, but essentially an employer's obligation. Tickets restaurants are advantageous form a tax point of view so they are a good benefit to have. The daily amount depends on your salary. Top-up (mutuelle, complémentaire) was recently made compulsory for employers to have available, but you can do it on your own. Work culture: timekeeping in France is poor compared to the UK. Breaks are considered important. You get used to it and knuckle down straight away after. Language: it is essential to learn the language, however much English is spoken in your work environment. It's a matter of respect and also so much of any informal office exchanges are key to fitting in. You can't afford not to. 🙂
Thank you for these videos. I work for the federal government here in the United States and I'm a veteran. I'm looking to relocate abroad. I'm quite tired of the United States but I will continue to work for the federal government if I decide to relocate abroad.
The default rule is that a CDD can only be renewed once, not twice. A general rule is that if your contract is renewed a second time, it automatically converts to a CDI, whatever the paperwork says. Bear in mind that in spite of the default contract being the CDI, there are tons of exceptions. Employers tend to rely on the exceptions to recruit as firing someone in France is really difficult and potentially expensive for an employer.

❤😁🖐Bonjour Anybody in France looking for an American Socialite like myself!?..I can be an assistant & or teach English -per no degrees in these areas. Just need to get there & live for myself! Truly wanting the Parisain lifestyle. 😁👍❤MERCI
I have 2 degrees in Psychology, what's the likelihood of getting employment. France is one of my expat destinations, but finding employment in any country that's not your own is tough.
Depends on what you're interested in doing tbh. I have a BA in psychology and went into recruiting. A lot of large companies have offices in France and I believe I could have gotten a visa sponsored through my work if I had really wanted to commit to that (transferring through a role I had in Us to go to France, not getting a visa sponsored through a new company in France). Recruiting also pays really well for large companies
@@maymayrays The higher your salary, the higher the tax, not sure numbers will make sens to you, as rent and daily life does not cost the same thing as in your home place
Emeline Alabah Take home pay refers to the percentage of pay you get to keep, as opposed to the portion the government/your employer gets to keep for taxes or benefits. It doesn’t refer to rent or cost of living. Here in the US, the average tax “wedge,” a figure that is sort of hard to arrive at because our tax system is complicated, but that represents the typical tax rate as best as possible, is around 30%.
www.economie.gouv.fr/particuliers/tranches-imposition-impot-revenu Here is a website with a chart which represent the tax rate for a single French person (first chart in pink/purple) To read it you have to do math Between 0 and 10K a year you py nothing - between 10 and 25K 11% - between 25 and 73K you pay 11‰ on the first 25K plus 30% on the part between 25 and 73 (for exemple if you have 50K a year it's 25*11%+25*30% But to be fair there is deductions depending of if you are married, with kids, giving to charities,... In average I saw 29% of tax but it's mainly because of the richest 10‰ Do not hesitate if I'm not clear 😁
Hey 🙂 for the context I'm French, leaving in the parisian suburb. It's really harder to find a job without a degree in France... At least for a French person. Maybe being from abroad gives you an advantage especially if you already have several professional experiences. For most of the position you need to have at least a DUT or BTS (2 years program that give you a degree) A Master (5years degree) is pretty standard Of course it depends of your activity sector and nothing blocks you to become an entrepreneur but it will be really more difficult than for someone who graduated
As anything administrative in France the basic principles are simple but there are a lot of specific rules that complexifie the execution. Basically, any person in France is eligible to a subvention to be used for a professional training (that includes anything helpful in a professional setting like driving license, entrepreneurship, etc.). The amount depends of the job status, for instance it's 500 euros per year for a full time private sector employee. This subventions is cumulative year after year. The CPF website (or app) has a catalog of all the trainings the subvention can be used for, and you can directly apply to them from it. The whole info is here travail-emploi.gouv.fr/formation-professionnelle/droit-a-la-formation-et-orientation-professionnelle/compte-personnel-formation/ unfortunately in French. Here a small presentation in English: www.provenceimmersion.com/companiescpf/the-training-rights-in-france/
Hello, I found your talks about live in france to be really insightful and will be of a great help to me. I intend to migrate to France, please can I have your email address, I have questions to ask regarding certain things...

Awesome video so informative. I also watched a couple of your other videos great content. I was in Paris and Italy with my 2 young adult kids last year (World Cup) and had tickets to return with husband this year. Enter Covid. We live in Oakland maybe 2021, till then I’ll follow you. 👍🏽. New subbie
You are an absolutely beautiful person!! Thank you so much for sharing your experience. I appreciate your videos.
You’re so welcome! It’s been fun to share in this way!
@@TiffanieDavis 😘
Lol more reasons to leave the US I’m my rear view. Lord. Great video. Stay beautiful 🤩
Hello Tiffanie, I watched several of your videos and found them very informative and presented in such away that should inspire others to responsibly explore and expand their own boundaries of opportunities without hopelessly settling for someone else’s imposed limitations. Mes Amitiés, -CA
Thank you so much for your kind words! I really do love helping others open the door to new possibilities!
We get 4 weeks paid annual leave in Australia! As well as public holidays like Christmas. The US is so weird to me, I couldn't live without it haha. And don't get me started on maternity leave
I valid! Great video Tiff. You said it so well. ☺️😊
BlackParis&Beyond Thank you! Glad you watched!
Nice video I’m moving to France 🇫🇷 soon
Traethekid Amazingggg wishing you all the best on your move!!
Everything clear. Great communication. I have a b1 english and i understand everything. 💕
meanwhile in America if you take a vacation they accuse you of wanting to turn the country into Venezuela ;)
Nice one Tiff! really helpful
Tamara Chehade Thank you! To be honest with you on the team that I worked on only two of us had an MBA, everyone else had a masters. So judging from that I think your masters should be totally okay. Is your masters from a French school? If so you’re golden!
This was super fascinating!!
This was very helpful. I was not aware of the all the work benefits or general attitude about work. However, as someone who is learning French for a move abroad, I have learned that les vacances is a BIG DEAL- and I just love them for that. 😘
Glad it was helpful! Yeah, the work benefits in France are really great. Very cool that you are planning to move abroad and kudos to you for planning ahead and learning french beforehand, that's the right way to do it!
Curare Wellness be sure to check before going as it depends on the jobs, my sister is working for a fashion brand (she is in marketing), she works like crazy, les vacances is more like distance work and gives back sh...t loads of money back to taxes. I am French and worked in the UK, I had to moved back to France because of Brexit, yes there is benefits working in France but I am job hunting in other countries as the system is at its limit and it will defo falls appart soon, government doesn’t have any money left to support such a system. Sure some jobs will be fine but again make sure of that before going.
Hi Tiffanie! I’m thinking about relocating to France. I just graduated this past Spring with a degree in public relations. I would love to connect with you!
Hey Fennzia! Super excited to hear that you are thinking of moving to France! I've been getting a handful of inquiries around this so I'm working on offering a service where I can connect with you 1 to 1 to answer questions outside of what I share on my channel! Feel free to shoot me an e-mail at itstiffaniedavis@gmail.com so that I can keep you on file! Stay tuned! x
yes please note that the ununployment rate is high in France and our students desperatly need jobs , I think you should focus on making america better, it's not like you come from a country that is at war, poor or has no opportunities for it's youth. Plus your president does'nt want us on his soil , so .
I love your style ❤️
Sounds fabulous!
I love your intro! What program did you use to make it?
Youre hair is gorgeous!!
Hi Tiff! I live in France, Versailles, I love when you say "Titre de sejour" it's so sweet.🤗
Hey hey! Lol thank youuu
Hi, i apreciate alot your content, thanks! i think it would be a great idea to find bring people from other careers to explain how is it in their profesions, i study fashion design and would love to know how is working in the fashion industry up there!!
thanks!
Highly recommend the video from Not Even French on her internshio at L'Oréal
Covering half the cost of travel is compulsory, with exceptions, but essentially an employer's obligation. Tickets restaurants are advantageous form a tax point of view so they are a good benefit to have. The daily amount depends on your salary. Top-up (mutuelle, complémentaire) was recently made compulsory for employers to have available, but you can do it on your own. Work culture: timekeeping in France is poor compared to the UK. Breaks are considered important. You get used to it and knuckle down straight away after. Language: it is essential to learn the language, however much English is spoken in your work environment. It's a matter of respect and also so much of any informal office exchanges are key to fitting in. You can't afford not to. 🙂
Salaries are inferior but the cost of living is 2.5 superior in NYC than in Paris. Can you you make a video with you speaking in French, please?
Pretty much binge watching all of your videos
Hahahah love it 🙌🏾
Thank You ❤️❣️❣️❣️
Very informative !
When can I get your masterclass @tiffanie davis
I have a per time job offer for you

Thank you for these videos. I work for the federal government here in the United States and I'm a veteran. I'm looking to relocate abroad. I'm quite tired of the United States but I will continue to work for the federal government if I decide to relocate abroad.

Hello:)
Bonjour 💃💃💃
Legally you have a minimum of 5weeks of vacation per year
Vos vidéos sont très sympas. ❤
H Mld Merci Hanane!! 💕
The default rule is that a CDD can only be renewed once, not twice. A general rule is that if your contract is renewed a second time, it automatically converts to a CDI, whatever the paperwork says. Bear in mind that in spite of the default contract being the CDI, there are tons of exceptions. Employers tend to rely on the exceptions to recruit as firing someone in France is really difficult and potentially expensive for an employer. Check the official sources to be informed, "Conditions de travail dans le secteur privé | service-public.fr" www.service-public.fr/particuliers/vosdroits/N492
❤😁🖐Bonjour
Anybody in France looking for an American Socialite like myself!?..I can be an assistant & or teach English -per no degrees in these areas. Just need to get there & live for myself! Truly wanting the Parisain lifestyle.
😁👍❤MERCI
It is very easy to get a job in Paris if you have a visa.
When you are sick, you forgot important info. You are not paid during 3 days unless you work for the government.
I moved to Paris. Can you please share how you got a job? I am desperately looking for a job
The details are in this video 😉
I have 2 degrees in Psychology, what's the likelihood of getting employment. France is one of my expat destinations, but finding employment in any country that's not your own is tough.
Depends on what you're interested in doing tbh. I have a BA in psychology and went into recruiting. A lot of large companies have offices in France and I believe I could have gotten a visa sponsored through my work if I had really wanted to commit to that (transferring through a role I had in Us to go to France, not getting a visa sponsored through a new company in France). Recruiting also pays really well for large companies
@@wge621 thank you
U have to learn french.
what is a typical take home pay after taxes, if i may ask? ive been told that deductions are very high ...
Good question, I’m curious as well...
@@maymayrays The higher your salary, the higher the tax, not sure numbers will make sens to you, as rent and daily life does not cost the same thing as in your home place
Emeline Alabah Take home pay refers to the percentage of pay you get to keep, as opposed to the portion the government/your employer gets to keep for taxes or benefits. It doesn’t refer to rent or cost of living. Here in the US, the average tax “wedge,” a figure that is sort of hard to arrive at because our tax system is complicated, but that represents the typical tax rate as best as possible, is around 30%.
www.economie.gouv.fr/particuliers/tranches-imposition-impot-revenu
Here is a website with a chart which represent the tax rate for a single French person (first chart in pink/purple)
To read it you have to do math
Between 0 and 10K a year you py nothing - between 10 and 25K 11% - between 25 and 73K you pay 11‰ on the first 25K plus 30% on the part between 25 and 73 (for exemple if you have 50K a year it's 25*11%+25*30%
But to be fair there is deductions depending of if you are married, with kids, giving to charities,...
In average I saw 29% of tax but it's mainly because of the richest 10‰
Do not hesitate if I'm not clear 😁
what about escp i just got accepted there
Inspired
Can you do videos in french?
Thing is it’s seen as illojal to go to Work sick as it destroys for everyone else. It’s a kinda go home already thing!
New subbie btw

@@kathylien6558 No, I am stuck here in the states due to kidney disease. I will have to live vicariously thru you.
Okay
I do have a prrtime job offer for you to assist your self
so.......... I have to unblock my ex for connections and job search. Good news!!!!!!Thank you)))))))))))
Lolllll
Are there a lot of entry level jobs available for someone who doesn’t have a college degree?
Hey 🙂 for the context I'm French, leaving in the parisian suburb.
It's really harder to find a job without a degree in France... At least for a French person. Maybe being from abroad gives you an advantage especially if you already have several professional experiences.
For most of the position you need to have at least a DUT or BTS (2 years program that give you a degree)
A Master (5years degree) is pretty standard
Of course it depends of your activity sector and nothing blocks you to become an entrepreneur but it will be really more difficult than for someone who graduated
how does it work CPF????
As anything administrative in France the basic principles are simple but there are a lot of specific rules that complexifie the execution. Basically, any person in France is eligible to a subvention to be used for a professional training (that includes anything helpful in a professional setting like driving license, entrepreneurship, etc.). The amount depends of the job status, for instance it's 500 euros per year for a full time private sector employee. This subventions is cumulative year after year. The CPF website (or app) has a catalog of all the trainings the subvention can be used for, and you can directly apply to them from it. The whole info is here travail-emploi.gouv.fr/formation-professionnelle/droit-a-la-formation-et-orientation-professionnelle/compte-personnel-formation/ unfortunately in French. Here a small presentation in English: www.provenceimmersion.com/companiescpf/the-training-rights-in-france/
Working atmosphere can be horrible in France, you say they keep it real, they can turn your life into a nightmare.
Honey, you mean after all this time you STILL don't speak the language??? Shame on you!
Honey. You mean you actually wrote this comment and thought it was nice? SHAME ON YOU! How rude!
Hello,
I found your talks about live in france to be really insightful and will be of a great help to me. I intend to migrate to France, please can I have your email address, I have questions to ask regarding certain things...
This was so informative, thank you!
