- csunbird 6y agoYup. The average salary for a junior (e.g. with 1 to 3 years experienced) developer is around 45-50k Euro gross. You can get very exceptional and very experienced engineers for 90-100k Euro gross annually.

- dukeyukey 6y agoIt's not that easy. Even if you already work for a US company, and that company is willing to sponsor you, and you win the visa lottery, it can take years to move to the US, and many years after that to get a green card. And at any point something could go wrong, your company screws up paperwork or something, and you get sent back to the start.
- 908B64B197 6y agoLots of talented EU Engineers do it. Maybe some EU countries should look into getting a better deals for their citizen trying to go abroad.
- dukeyukey 6y agoAt a macro level, sure. At a personal level, it's not easy. As far as I know, only Mexico, Canada and Australia have preferred access to US visas for their citizens (though I'm hoping the UK will join them during trade deal negotiations).
- kazen44 6y agobecause leaving behind the people and community around me is not worth the money and work/life balance? also, the US has a political and social problem which make it a place I would not want to live.
