try jobs in netherlands/amsterdam. they don't require dutch, most people here (>90%?) speak very good english. just find a job that does visa sponsorship (a lot do). good luck.
It's pretty easy to move to (most) European countries really. It's nothing like what you're hearing from people trying to move to the US. Most will just let you stay to work (visa/residence permit) with relatively little bureaucracy. As long as you have a job they won't bother you. There's some other requirements (qualified professional, certain income), but as a software developer you won't have any trouble. Your em…

They don't and the pay is fine. Don't act like a d** and you'll be fine.
To be fair, aside from perhaps very specific domains (e.g. finance) or corporations, the pay probably looks dismal if you compare it to SV levels. Making six figures is certainly something hard to reach. Ditto on the immigrants thing though, Germany is certainly not the worst country in that regard.

> I assume the easiest method is to obtain a EU passport. I am... not sure this is true, and I'm not sure why you would think it is? Usually its much easier to obtain a work visa than a passport.
Yes it was true: https://www.euronews.com/2020/10/20/buying-eu-citizenship-wh... In particular Malta and Cyprus, evidently had low barriers. But according to the article, 19 EU countries provide some kind of residency scheme. Another site provides some interesting details: https://imperiallegal.com/european-passport/
It would be nice to narrow your search to a specific country because some EU countries are not welcoming foreigners of specific nationalities. And some others countries are saturated of foreigners (specifically from one or two countries) and there are mixins. But it changes from city to city too. So even if you get a job in EU, better to check what is your budget. You don't want to live in a neighborhood full of immi…

That was racist / xenophobic - did you really want to post this?

€2M spare cash is not a low barrier. It's not the "easiest method" either. They're fun articles, but realistically very few people can afford this - and if they can, they know.

The number of figures is pretty irrelevant when you factor in cost of living.
That is partially true. The absurd remunerations of SV engineers factor in the cost of living, for sure, but generally people can consolidate a decent amount of capital in a few years if they have a good position. Even if you have to spend $2000 for a two-bedroom flat, if you earn $150k/yr you are likely able to save more money than someone earning €50000 with a €500 flat. (I am not saying SWEs are underpaid in the E…
