"better" here in the sense that there are more startups in the US. I'm not so sure there are more openings in the US; my sense is that Europe has just as many well-established companies.

It is uncommon for startups to succeed.

I guess the salary is also lower in Europe, but the life in general is better even if you make less compared to the US.

Work remotely. Decouple your salary from your location.

I've done too much remote work. It can get very lonely.

What I'd like is to go into an office, and have coworkers. It's not about creating killer apps by the water cooler; it's about having the company of other human beings in my workplace.

I do apply to some remote gigs, but only a very few. What I'd really like is to work in Portland, Oregon.
