Tweet is from around February 2022; I’m not visiting that cesspool to find the exact date.

    Then I want to welcome you to Europe. Where all your dreams will come true. Well, except those 25% are rookie numbers.

    Take your salary, if it’s 6 digits, half it at least, if less, shave 20% off. No, that’s not taxes, that’s your new gross. Your new net is 50% of that.

    But you know what, you’ll learn that the society is better off this way. And yet, somehow, I’m sure you’ll never even consider the offer.

      I presume COL is less? Honestly been thinking of trying to get out of the US, unsure if tech jobs can get me a work visa or whatever, but I’m definitely starting to research.

        skilled work visas are dumb easy in the EU. In part, because the best international talent is fighting for getting into the US. Cuz ya know, you’ll make 3-5 times the salary as a software dev.

        But if you’re the one who knows why you don’t want that fat pay check and want a sane society instead, there are places like Berlin, Amsterdam, Copenhagen. You don’t even need to learn the language to move there and have a great professional and social life.
