That last sentence sounds very ChatGPT-like

I think you can still use it on Bing.

I laugh at Americans mocking Europeans because "they're not willing to work hard" - two reasons:

1. Salaries are shit here anyways, and any additional money you make beyond say 60k (!) is taxed at 40% or higher. 2. For compliance reasons, if you spend more than 8h in the office between "badge in" and "badge out", HR will tell you to work less because the company will get into legal trouble otherwise. It is just prohibited and you will just create headaches for everyone including yourself.

Actually it's super easy for any EU company to sponsor a so called blue card, the salary requirements are laughably low. I think the reason why so few companies do it is because they're simply not aware of its existence

It's almost impossible to move to Switzerland if you're not an EU citizen. Intra-company transfers are pretty much the only option.

Look at levels.fyi for an idea on how much you would make in Europe. Last time I checked an L5 at Amazon Berlin makes about 100k. (dont bother converting because right now EUR == USD, the GBP-USD rate is a bit higher)

The best of both worlds is if you get a contractor role based in the US with a US salary and live in Europe. You will still get the higher tax rate and as a US citizen pay taxes in the US. The Netherlands has a way to self-sponsor your visa, it's called DAFT.

What's the reason that you want to relocate to Europe? It's not looking good right now. Our economies have been stagnant for years, morale is low, division seems to increase, and there is a lot of cognitive dissonance regarding Russia and the new US presidency.

I notice that I trust LLMs a lot nowadays, because I spent a lot of time trying to understand the answer to the first question, thinking I was just "not getting it", until realizing that it's just wrong, and then also realizing that the question doesn't even make sense in the slightest.
