Believe me or not, I know a number of engineers at FAANGS that turned down opportunities to move to the US even at 3x the salary.
The bizantine bureaucracy without clear guarantees and timelines, the theoretical risk of being deported, the less theoretical risk of being under surveillance, the limits on what you can do on H1B... it makes people feel very unwelcome.

- FredPret 5y agoI immigrated to Canada. It’s a very stressful process to emigrate; having a clear and fair process in front of you when you start is critical. The Canadians made the process very clear - a high bar, but a fair and even kind process. I would never have considered going to the States due to the sheer difficulty and risk of it. Because my country of origin is not somewhere I ever want to see again, even the smallest risk of deportation is completely unacceptable to me.
