A couple of years ago I interviewed a guy living in SF who wanted to come over to Norway, to work as a software developer. I asked him why he wanted to make the move and he went on about how he had to get outta there, how he had lost all faith in the country and did not see a good future for himself if he stayed.
At the time I thought to myself that he was being a bit dramatic, but the more I read about how the US is treating its people these days the more I think understand what he was on about.
He made the move, btw.
Those that can leave are the lucky ones.... Some of us are too "worthless" for other countries to accept so we're stuck here...
Whether it's income requirements or specialized industry/educational requirements, "uneducated" poor scumbags like myself are stuck in this bat shit crazy country... I wish I could leave.
This is why I moved. People look at me like I have 4 heads when I describe some things.
I think I might've had a hard time not judging him for sharing that in an interview. Good on you for not.
He said he's in Norway. They're not known for being shy about knowing they're better off.
