I lived two years in the US as an exchange student, it was pretty fun and that’s what allowed me to learn English.

But I was not really impressed. Recently someone offered me a position in FAANG company, I refused despite the high salary.

In my humble opinion, your country is too diverse that it’s starting to hurt, you are being polarized over trivial stuff and social interactions are too shallow (I prefer opposite countries where it’s harder to engage with people but where discussions get a lot deeper)

Also the American dream is not really appealing to me, I have lived in 5 countries (for at least a year), the US is the one I enjoyed the least
