Would you consider taking an R&D role in Europe if you were US talent?

I'm only answering in general, not personally, but this question is too vague. Would you take a job in your specialty in the US? If your answer is "yes", great! It's located in Nome, Alaska. Still interested?

There's a world of difference between living in Netherlands and Bulgaria, just like life in Honolulu is almost nothing like life in rural Alaska or NYC or rural Kansas.

Rural Alaska seems rather a nice isolated place for a typical HN commenter...
My dad did consider taking a medical job in Soldotna...
I am US talent, and nope. It's tough for new grads, but not too bad for experienced US citizens.

Worst case I can work for the State or Federal government (especially now that all critical Tech roles have been classified as GS-14/15 now) and still earn more than as senior leadership in Europe.

My problem is I have a few years of experience, but was in academia for a while, so I think it’s hard for them to evaluate me.
