Wow! I'm in a similar boat, especially regarding the US v. Europe thing, and I realized I'm very divided between a life that most people would think is made of the "good choices", and one that could go "less optimal", but will probably help me figure out what I like better. Staying in the US got very predictable in terms of what my journey will look like 5,10 years to come, and I got less interested in that, even though, and I know it's a privileged position, it will most certainly guarantee I get paid more than any other place. However, there's something about taking the plunge and finding out what it could possibly look like in Europe, and maybe trying to make it financially "work" there too. I've acquired a certain level of professional confidence in myself over the years that made me believe I can be very successful in Europe too, and I've been wanting to try a better social life. I've been living here for almost a decade, and at this point I feel like I've tried all that the country can materially offer me, but in a smaller scale. I did college, NYC, the beach life, and everything in between, and I want to experience something else.
