well, hold on guys. let's not go too orthodox with all the education and moving abroad thing. People move abroad to the "west" for a variety of legit reasons which give them perspective. Many companies are in the UK and London still is, and probably always will be a powerhouse. Same for US, Germany, etc. I don't know that one can cross out the benefit of having studied abroad along so many talented people that easily. Can you get that at home? Depends on a lot of things, specially where is home for you.

The difference between the "West" and the rest isn't as large as it used to be. There are good companies in UK, US, Germany etc. to be sure, but they aren't paying that much compared to costs of living (esp. when you account for real estate). US Silicon Valley companies are probably an exception, because exorbitant salaries make moving there worth it even in spite of ridiculous costs of living. But, is Germany or UK that much better than China or Malasya? I don't know enough about Asia to say one way or the other, but they (UK/Germany) certainly aren't neccessarily better than Poland (a country I know), from a programmer's perspective.
