I live in EU. Just spent four weeks in San Francisco and got back home last Friday. HOLY SHIT. Those few weeks in the eye of the cyclone catapulted my business and network into the future by at least a year or two. The number of new clients I landed, the insights from meeting my current clients and overall tailwind strength exceeded my expectations - by a few orders of magnitude. Sure, the cost of living is high, but if you optimize for growth, it’s almost comically worth it. I’m honestly considering putting my kids in suitcases and figuring out a long-term visa.
(Note: I run a service business with most of my clients being tech startups, so take this with a grain of salt.)
