>my friends circle was composed of indians, malaysians, irish, italians, and chineses.
I used to live in the USA, and as a foreigner I too found an international circle like this to be the most enjoyable. It was easy to come by in the US though. Now I'm doing a PhD in Germany, and the research group is like this, however I've yet to find such group elsewhere, given I very recently got here and havent explored that much yet.
Do you think the natives are like that among themselves too? I'm surprised to hear this about NL. Shame.
>but I also lived in Germany and UK
how was your time in Germany and the UK if you dont mind me asking?
Could you elaborate? I just moved to Germany and was thinking if not going to NL was a mistake.
This may have been what happened to me as I didnt get an H1B 3 years in a row so I had to leave and the company i worked for had to get me an L1 visa. Im not an avid social media poster or anyrhing either, but I have been critical of the US online.
Not getting H1B as someone with an MS diploma felt like it was personal (and not a "lottery" that the visa is claimed to be)
Inb4, then why come? Well, before I came I never knew any of this stuff, as i was a foreigner in high school. Came over for college, stayed for a position at a FAANG corp. "The american dream"
