To be blunt, I don't think you'll find what you're looking for without thinking a bit more about why you feel this way.
What's the problem with your current situation? Is it that your salary is too low? Lack of interesting opportunities? Small development community?
The US tech industry is interesting for a number of reasons, but it's not without it's problems. There are way more companies, higher salaries and more innovation generally. But working conditions can be worse, even at large employers. Housing can be expensive. Healthcare!
There are lots of places in EU countries that are doing interesting things in tech. They don't have quite the same glitz and glamour of FAANG, but you might find something that makes you happy closer to home.
(Disclaimer: I personally am planning to move to the US, but only because my fiancé is a citizen and his family is there. But even having that easy path through immigration does not make the conclusion at all obvious.)
