Compare European and US salaries sometime, you have no idea how lucky you are.

There's a reason tens of thousands of European engineers, doctors, lawyers, developers, etc. are desperate to move to the US.

Until you get fired, or a cancer, or kids, or you're not lucky to be in the 10% money makers, &c.

I've lived in both systems, if you're not working for FAANG you're better off in Europe, and if you're working for FAANG in Europe you're probably even better off tbh

Personally no ammount of money will buy my peace of mind, I wouldn't even take 3x my current salary to go to the US

I rather get a little less money and not live in a car depended sprawl with cities full of homeless and no public transport.
It’s not luck, it’s the result of long term policy.
