Even factoring cost of living US junior devs would take like 30% more real income than a European junior dev. This doesn’t include vacation, maternal/paternal leave, and labor unions all are better in Europe.

Yea but so is cost of living. If u can also easily get citizenship it’s not bad to do it to gain experience

You'd definitely not be able to get citizenship easily in the vast majority of european countries. You usually have to live there for close to a decade before you can apply. But it's very easy to get a work visa to several countries and you get way more benefits than you would in the US. Just watch out for the US continuing to steal your money until you renounce citizenship 🙃

Most EU countries allow u to apply for citizenship if ur grandparents were from there or a citizen. Idk how hard the process is but hoping I get it

Ah, I thought you were speaking generally. Sure, some countries have that. Most Americans aren't second generation immigrants from select European countries, and we'll need to find another way out. I hope it works out for you!
