vane113014yI think japan would suit your needs.
Snow - best snow in the world for skiing.
Tokyo - megacity
English - you can try if you work in some corporate and learn language later
Immigration- saw that’s better now as japan changed rules last year -
vane113014y@iiii Sorry can’t help you cause never been there but there’s point system that’s good for it professionals you can google it.
I remember there are or were some expats leaving in japan on devrant. -
NoMad140754y@vane yeah my field is all English anyways, so the question of language is about society. I tried it with Germany and I got so lazy at learning the language that I even forgot most of what I knew.

NoMad140754y@iiii not when your interaction is limited to ordering food and paying the cashier 😜
(I haven't made many friends. Covid fucked those I had too) -
NoMad140754y@iiii many do. When I get stuck and start mumbling, they talk English to me as the idiot foreigner that I am. 😜

If you want to immigrate to Switzerland, don't forget that food, rents etc. also cost much more, somewhat proportional to the salary increase. 😉
English shouldn't be a problem, most can speak basic English and if you work in a bigger city like Zurich, English in day to day life is no problem.
Waiting for the floors I just mopped to dry, and I'm still thinking about migrating and if, for example, the swiss give me a good job offer, I would most likely stick around. I don't hate to stick around Europe, but it defo doesn't have any of the elements I like. (megacity, snows, English speaking, multicultural, non-torturous migration laws)
Like, I'm at that point where I'm not making enough money and want to leave (also, gaining the freedom to leave from degree soon enough) but I absolutely hate my home place (personal reasons) but they pay a crapton better, plus I can get social security benefits.
... And I want to do a phd. 😐
Someone beat some sense into me please.
