    Can confirm. Made the painful decision to move back to Europe because we wouldn’t have been able to afford the kid’s studies, growing old and sick with no retirement and so on

      I think it depends. I’m a software dev in the U.S. I have talked to many developers in Europe who feel like they are stuck, and are making a pittance compared to what they make in the U.S. If you were to talk to one of these people, they would be providing a different perspective than what you are telling me right now. And it turns out, moving is hard no matter where you are from.

      Personally, I’ve crunched the numbers. Even with social benefits, moving to Europe for me would be a mistake.

      Btw, I know multiple European families in the U.S. They aren’t all just here temporarily. Not everyone just keeps moving on a whim.

      I’m one of the immigrant families lol.
