....and? It's literally true everywhere in the world. I've moved abroad 13 years ago, obtained citizenship of another country, settled here, but I still wouldn't call myself local. Why is that a problem, and why is this in any way shape or form "limiting" in moving across Europe? The truth is you can move to any country any company incredibly easily with an EU citizenship, and yet OP finds it "locking" in some way, and I was curious what they mean, because in my opinion and in my experience it's the exact opposite.
- mathverse 3y agoWe are comparing US single market vs EU single market. It's EXTREMELY difficult for people not in IT to move across Europe. Many of us have spouses or family in professions which cannot easily be done in different EU countries due to the language limitations. That can easily set you back years in your career or force you to learn a language YOU DO NOT WANT TO LEARN. Another aspect is local culture. Europe is still INCREDIBLY centered around national cultures despite people trying to be more open. A lot of X-nationality are still acting according to stereotypes and it's incredibly hard to stay in such country longterm. Part of being happy is to live in a welcoming, happy place not just money and amazing infrastructure.
