No, I’ve had stock options too but they’ve turned out worthless.

I don’t know what your seniority is and what you’ve seen but I can assure you it exists, and it’s not unique exceptions. Maybe a good opportunity to interview if you’re feels it’s unattainable where you are now. Plenty of US companies hiring remotely too…

I just moved back to Sweden from the US, and at least for my part of industry there seems to have been a notable shift (covid?), where roles/salaries that previously required moving to SF are available remote in CET hours.

You pay hella more tax on them though, but I mean the reason I left the US was also like.. related to all this. I want the things those taxes pay for, it feels incredible to be back somewhere with functioning healthcare, functioning child care systems.
