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?

You still have to pay for Trump's wall.

For me, it's not worth moving. I was born here, and as a result I'm somewhat responsible for the actions my country takes as a whole. Moving doesn't change that. The grass looks greener on the other side, but other countries aren't really doing that well with human rights, LGBT issues, affordable housing, or constitutionally-protected free speech. No matter where you move, you're trading one bag of shit for another.

It's weird.

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.

He posted this on election night, he's from the US. Is it really that hard to put two and two together?

Norway: http://m.finn.no/job/fulltime/search.html?occupation=0.23&fi...

281 java positions, 182 c#, 91 c++

New ones coming in every day.

There is a lot of demand here for skilled developers, most positions are not for startups, but established business.

Software developer salary is typically lower than in the US, but then again, cost of living (as far as apartment rent goes(in Oslo)) is lower than in SV. C#/Java back-end salary usually range from 600,000 NOK (73 188 dollar, at the low end, not much experience, poor resume) to 1,000,000 NOK (121 980 dollar, senior).

The average developer salary in Oslo is at 106k (dollar). National average is 82k, most attractive jobs, and salaries, tend to be in Oslo.

A man was walking along a river bank when he saw another man on the opposite side. "Hello!" he called out, "how do you get to the other side of the river?" The man called out in response, "you are on the other side of the river!"

A similar joke I've heard has the opposite moral, so to speak:

The man on the other side responds: "Don't ask me. I was born here."
