Come to Europe. Salaries are (much) lower, but we can use good devs and you'll have vacation days and health care.

The tech sector in UK/EU is bad, too. And the cost of living in big cities is terrible for the salaries.

They are outsourcing just as much as US Big Tech. And never mind the slow-mo economic collapse of UK, France, and Germany.

Moving to Europe is anything but trivial. Have you looked at y'all's immigration processes recently? It can be a real bear.

It would be worth it mathematically to be unemployed in the US for up to 3-5 years in hopes of landing another US job.

Taking a 75% pay cut for free Healthcare that costs 1k a month anyway doesn't math. Not to mention the higher taxes for this privilege. European senior developers routinely get paid less than US junior developers.
