> Europe will continue to lose their talent to USA, as long as the pitiful salaries do not increase to an acceptable degree. I'm not sure that's true - that Europe is losing talent to the US. COVID-19 has the US on blacklists for most of Europe. And before that Trump policies towards foreigners are not exactly encouraging to migrant workers. Meanwhile 70k Euros (82K USD) ignores that you're getting cheap, high quality healthcare, you don't have much student debt (or none at all e.g. Germany). Meanwhile Google, Facebook et al. have been opening engineering offices around Europe, presumably because it's hard to get talent over to the US / cheaper in Europe. > you have to jump through hoops with HR and management in Europe What hoops are these?
