From the depths of my heart, Fuck You. There are millions of us out there who can't leave. People of color, disabled people, co-workers, friends, family, loved ones. Leaving is failure. Leaving is cowardice. Leaving is making sure that those millions of people who aren't as privileged as you have even less of a chance to fix things. Do you really want your legacy to have been abandoning the US? Or do you want to actu…

Oh I missed the part where it said what country he (she?) was leaving, or where he might want to go. Do you feel the same way about people leaving any country, wherever they might be?

I recruit in Japan and we use DaiJob, Indeed, and GaijinPot. There are also quite a few on linkedIn (they seem to pay a lot better as well)

Do you have any advice on finding good recruitment firms out there? I've gotten too used to firms turning up on LinkedIn with piles of jobs.

Nearly all Americans descend from immigrants who left other countries to come here. Were they all privileged cowards?

First of all, where did it say in the OP's post that the question has anything to do with the U.S. election? Maybe it does, but that's irrelevant since it was not even hinted at.

StackOverflow Jobs site is used quite a bit at least in Europe. https://stackoverflow.com/jobs

It's relatively easy to Google for expat websites for any specific country. The salaries are generally lower, but so is the cost of housing.

Our company Smartly.io is also hiring. 3-year-old startup, 100 employees, 30+ engineers, profitable, some real scalability issues to be solved (already 200+ servers), and based in Helsinki. :)

That really depends on why they left. In this case I agree with OP, anyone who leaves the U.S. because of Trump instead of standing and fighting is a coward.

There's a difference. Something tells me that the original poster isn't someone who is leaving with just the shirt on his back and a letter from his brother.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

most of the Asia country has less personal income tax. So that will cover the salary difference.

You still pay US income taxes while an expat as long as you have your citizenship. https://www.irs.gov/individuals/international-taxpayers/u-s-... "Your worldwide income is subject to U.S. income tax, regardless of where you reside." Your best scenario is to work remotely for a US company while living in a low cost of living country.

*tax free up to 100k
