Moving away from your established life, friends, family to a country where you will (at least initially) be foreign, where the lifestyle is different are burdens that should not be underestimated.

I'm sure everybody in the EU would like US level salaries, but most wouldn't move for the money alone

America is the ~only country where you may truly be "local" in the eye of the locals.

In all other countries you'll always be a foreigner (your kids will be local though).

UK as well, it's very welcoming to foreign workers compared to most of continental Europe where even if you learn the language you're still a a foreigner with glass ceilings.
