It's my understanding that all the countries in Europe where salaries for software engineers are high, have rather strict immigration policies.

1. Other EU citizens can basically move around freely, from poor paying countries (Eastern Europe) to good paying ones.

2. Even for non-EU citizens, it's way way easier to get a software job (the company can get a visa for you). There is no H1B style cap. If you get an offer, you get the visa & job. True, for the first few years the visa might be tied to the job, but this just means that you need to have a new offer before leaving the previous job.
