Yes, two of my siblings are European citizens. It's staggering how much richer US feels. Many Europeans are fed daily propaganda and thus are in denial/ideological hatred. I implore Europeans especially the ones in technology to skip over anti-capitalist and anti-American propaganda widespread in Europe (e.g. you'll hear shootings every day; you'll be BK and die on the street if you get cancer) and seriously explore opportunities in the US. They can be multiple times wealthier, not just some measly percentages.

This is the classic american take, look at how much more money you could have.

To most europeans there are more important things than money, especially those working in tech who likely earn enough to have a great quality of life. Also lots of them have been to the US and made their own minds up.

That money apparently is not making Americans happier:

When you measure Socialist ideals and call it "happiness" you get paradoxical results.

Ignore the US; keep believing that Sweden is happier than Spain :)

They should really call it something like "World ESG Index."

But you only get two weeks of annual leave a year on average to enjoy that extra money. Seems a shame.

You can take a few years off with one year of FANG comp but if denial feels good I am not going to ruin the moment.

Yes most of the population does not enjoy that benefit. I understand you only care for yourself, so yes please enjoy the current system that benefits you. Maybe we can a country just for you and send you there.
