Not everyone wants to move to/stay in the US, the world has a lot of beauty.

I for one am very happy to live in Europe. But Europe is a very diverse continent so it's an extremely broad question. I've lived in a few places within Europe, traveled through others. But there is still so much hidden for me. If I were to move outside I would probably go to Asia.
- taway_1212 10y agoA lot depends on the kind of career you want to have. If you're happy with staying within the mainstream business/web programming, then Europe does not constrain you that much (except lower salaries, which means less savings, which means retiring later). On the other hand, if you want to go into something niche (compilers, graphics, anything math-based), then US is really the place to be.
- twic 10y agoThere's a reasonable amount of graphics and compiler work in the UK - we have ARM, and Imagination Technologies, plus some other boutique local companies, and offices of international companies like Broadcom and IBM (Hursley did a lot of IBM's JVM work, not sure if that's still going).
