Yeah it's very attractive but not the easiest to obtain citizenship.

Those damn lazy immigrants only want to exploit us! We can't accomodate them all!

(I hope it's clear that this is a joke)

If only Europe wanted us there! If moving there were easy, I'd have done it years ago. Unfortunately, I probably need to wait until I retire.

IDK, does the salary deficit makes up for it?

[–] [email protected] 9 points 1 year ago

I cannot speak to what working in Europe is like, but as someone who works in the public sector in a very blue state, the work/life balance and benefits are unmatched. Yes, the pay is slightly less, but it is more than worth it imo if it means I only have to work 4 days and 35 hours a week, and not 6 days and 70 hours a week.

Wish I had the money to afford moving out there alone. Jealous.

And only the poor and/or uneducated will stay behind. The USA is going down fast.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I don't think that's really true. The US is still the largest economy and attracts many educated and highly skilled people in the tech sector.

Certain parts are declining for sure, but I don't think that applies to the whole country.

When America sends its people, they’re not sending their best.
