Which countries would be willing to accept an English-speaking engineer who loves to do engineery things for enough pay to have a roof and healthy diet?
If that’s all you need, I’d say most countries 😆
Salaries outside the US aren’t gonna be as high, but the cost of living is also much much lower. As a Brazilian, I actually save more than 50% of my salary (while having a middle class lifestyle), and was able to buy an apartment without any debt at 30.
Also if you go anywhere in Latin America you’ll see the average diet is quite healthy.
Very much depends on your speciality in engineering - US engineering in some fields is world-class,in some fields it’s,well, developing world. Very much depends on your field, therefore.
You want a roof? In this economy?
Sure would be a problem if someone posted helpful websites for engineers looking to leave the US /s
They will be greatly missed! I hope they do go and continue making the world a better place through science and education. Their work should continue unhindered and the EU would be all the better for it. Overall it’s the best decision for those that have the opportunity.
Any European countries need a coder? I’d hop the pond and never look back.
This threatens to be a bigger brain drain than just elite University-level scientists. I know of several US IT professionals who are in the process of getting European citizenship through parent and grandparent eligibility. And some of these are moderate conservatives, not just liberals. There’s a lot of unease at least on the coasts.
I’m weighing up moving back to the UK myself. After over two decades I had never felt the need to even consider this before now. Hopefully it won’t come to that, not least because it would mean uprooting my entire family, it works be a big headache, and because I know the UK isn’t a bed of roses right now either. But the way shit is rapidly unraveling here in the US, I might not have a choice in a few years.
