The grass in distant meadows always appears to be greener. By various estimates there are about 30 million programmers in the world. Of those a couple of hundred thousand, maybe even a million do interesting work. The rest are writing CRUD apps and fixing legacy systems. You don't read about that majority. If you still think you can accomplish greater things, then a good option is to travel to where you see the best opportunities, have a go. But don't burn your bridges and be willing to return home if it doesn't meet your ambitions. You can't lose, because you will then know what it really is like "out there" and make decisions for the future that work for you.
