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.

And many countries have a double tax treaty with the US, such as the UK, whereby you end up only paying one load of tax.

We're looking maybe one or too developers to a senior team in Berlin. C++/Clojure/Rust.

The bad thing in Berlin is that 60K is a ceiling for senior engineers...

Definitely not the ceiling. I've been working here for five years and always earned more. Also if you're married they'll sum you and your partner's income and lower your taxes if your partner earns less. Good way to study or do non-paid work while the other earns for both of you.

Berlin is very liberal and open-minded, but learning Deutsch is a must...

In Europe simply buy a train ticket and go.

I am assuming however this is leaving the US for ... not-US locations

My suggestion would be to stay where you are, look for remote work opportunities that will give you the ability to losslessly change jobs until you found the work culture that suits.

And it also gives you opportunity to get involved in your local or state politics where you can make a genuine difference.

Just as Europe has a free-to-move labour force (for now!) the US has strong and increasingly independent States that look more and more like the engines of progressive change. California just approved marijuana for example.

Let the countries of the world deal with any changing trade and defence agreements. It's why they have diplomats.

NB - I am not meaning to be as patronising as I may be coming across

I recently made the move (US->UK) and am happy to give people advice. My email is in my profile.

Would you be willing to write a general post on it? I don't agree or disagree with the idea of emigrating due to the election but it would be engaging to read - I don't see much stuff from people moving that direction.

I've currently got a draft of it 1/3rd done. But I am better at talking and answering questions than at writing.
