a friend of mine, phd, who lives in Not america, got offered 200k$/year as a software engineer to work in america. he refused because he hates america.

Valid reason I would say!

I wouldn't do it either

Depending on the underlying reasons that decision can be interpreted as either fair or idiotic.

As an American, I hate him right back. 🙂

Can't blame her. There are many countries i won't work in for a number of reasons(you can't force me to work on India for example, not even if there was a fire!) Pretty sure she has hers albeit 200k a year is excellent in practically all of the continental U.S. would have been a great offer imo since you can live like a king with that. Shit I make way less and live really fucking good.

I won't even fucking travel to the US until they decide to put other people at the border than the most obnoxious assholes the country can muster up.

And I'm trying to get out of America. Any takers from across the Atlantic? 😂

@AleCx04 he

@iKameo I'm planning to come visit Berlin for 2 weeks on vacation this year. Going to get as best a feel for the area before I commit to working there after I graduate in the spring.

he is damn right xD

South , Central or North?

200k where? East coast or west coast? Near a hotspot like sf or nyc or something more sensible?

Seeing rent for a small Appartement in San Francisco made me flip my shit and be thankful for the German up market prices for a change

“This is America”. I just drop it here.

Ma boi.

What's so bad about the US?

@N0-Flux-Given
Trump
Gun Violence
Racism
Drug Wars

Only to name a few things...

I don't think I'd even get in if I wanted too. 😅

Im not a fan of 1/4 of America believe in God! I think that's a bit weird, where I'm from we pretending to be so we can get married, have funerals and stuff.
