:-( We're looking at NL specifically so our kids can have some freedom, ride their bikes and take public transport, and not be prisoners of suburbia. But the wages are pretty terrible; I've been working remote for US companies (set up my own consulting firm so invoicing is easy) and that's worked pretty well. We'll see if the recession kills it.

Possibly the opposite! The Euro drop in price has made it competitive for US companies to hire engineers in Europe. The only con is the difference in timezone. Central/South America still has that advantage.

Yeah, I just started a contract denominated in USD which has been nice. Time zones are kinda annoying.
