Wow. I have lived, worked and paid taxes in Europe, the US and Australia. And the US ranks 3rd on my list of places where I would choose to live. I turned down a highly paid job in California and instead moved to Australia. They wanted to pay for my relocation, green card, everything. But I still said no. Best decision ever. Also, a friend of mine recently regretted moving to the US and happily returned to Australia. If Europe is such a terrible place for you to live why haven’t you moved to the US?
- 4ad 5y agoBecause getting a work visa for the US take a tremendous amount of effort. I would move tomorrow if I could.
- mbrodersen 5y agoSo you have never actually lived in the US? Or any other country outside of your birth country? Believe me when I say that reality doesn’t match your expectations.
- 4ad 5y agoI have lived in the US for about 8 years of my life in total. I have lived in Austria (not my birth country) for 11 years.
- mbrodersen 5y agoI have not lived/worked in Austria so I don't have your experience. However I will say that Austria is not Europe. Denmark, Spain and France (for example) are very different countries with different cultures. So making claims about "Europe" based on your experience in Austria might not be accurate.
