There's a reason most companies are opening offices in Cluj, Bucharest, Praha, Lodz, Warsaw, Kyiv, Budapest, Tel Aviv, San Jose CR, Hyderabad, Bangalore, Delhi, etc now - a mix of government incentives requiring asses on seats as well as situations like above. > The US jobs market is crazy Depends on skillset as well. The biggest driver for jobs moving abroad is the fact that most CS programs no longer require low level or backend knowledge (distributed systems, OS internals, networking, database internals, C/C++) or teach it at a very high level. Meanwhile, universities in CEE, Israel, India, etc still club CE and CS into a single degree (NAND to Tetris to React), making students much more well rounded for tech roles. For example, my alma mater (Ivy League or Ivy Tier) stopped requiring the OS/Systems Programming class that made you diffuse the GDB bomb or truly understand how malloc works. Same thing at other peer universities except EECS@Cal, CS/ECE@UIUC, and CS/ECE@CMU.
