I don’t think it ever was in general? I was offered a green card and a high value job in California. I decided to accept a job in Australia instead. That was the right choice for me. But YMMV of course. I think it depends on your personality, job situation etc. whether the US is the right choice for you or not.
- deanmoriarty 5y agoWhat made you decide to go to Australia as opposed to California with green card prospects? From my limited view point, the opportunity you left on the table was massive.
- mbrodersen 5y agoI have lived and worked in the US and I realised that the Australian culture is a better fit for me. I probably would have made more money in the US but that is not #1 on my list of what is important. The amount of misery, stress, and anxiety I saw every day in the US was not something I agreed with. Coming from a well functioning European country, it was a shock to me to see people begging in the streets. Before living in the US I had never seen a beggar “live”. Only on TV. It was a massive culture shock for me. Australia is a perfect blend of Europe and the US. Best of both in my opinion.
