They do. According to State of European Tech 2023 Europe is a net importer of Global Talent.

btw It is also absolutely personally a net win to invest in a new language or a new culture.

Then why are jobs empty in Germany? It's a net importer, but 30% of people in Germany also leave after living their for some years.

Also, regarding bew language, culture, it can definitely be a net win. But it's always about tradeoff. For someone from an third world country doing their masters, the net win from language might be less than net win from taking advantage of all the education resources available to them now in Europe.

A good engineer without knowledge of local language has a more robust prospects around the world than a bad engineer with local language knowledge.
