* my Co isn't outside the USA so your idea won't work. * It's not about the money, I'm looking at moving for other reasons. I'd like to live reasonably without scraping by though. I heard COL in Dublin, Ireland and Netherlands was comparable to Seattle , WA. if this is true, and taxes are higher, my goose is cooked. However, on considering Cost of Living, I think I have it distorted a bit since the average wage is 55k in Dublin , and Google says it can rent out a decent 2 bedroom apartment, and live comfortably. * Netherlands is facing a housing shortage, not sure if it's decent to move there. * it looks like pay in FAANG does drop with country. * I know the other ideas won't work - A work visa is required. Digital nomad possibly, or a Work Search Visa, but that seems more risky. |

There's a housing crisis in Ireland too. A 2-bed in Dublin in an alright location is 2k+. Here's rents in Dublin: https://www.daft.ie/property-for-rent/dublin-city
Capital Gains in Ireland is 33%, income tax is high, and the quality of life isn't as high as mainland Europe. Just look at those apartments. Depressing.
If I were you I'd move to the Netherlands. The no-tax year is unbelievably good, nl is less car-dependant so you get to live a different lifestyle, and it's easier to tour around the rest of Europe. Ireland isn't even in the fucking Schengen!
