Europe is bleeding tech talent, and no one's talking about it. A senior engineer in Paris makes $65K. The same role in Silicon Valley? $320K. This gap is creating the biggest talent exodus in European history. Here's the brutal reality behind Europe's massive brain drain

i suspect this is about as practicable as importing neurosurgeons in attempt to drop their salary or importing investment bankers to drop theirs. they already do this at entry level (target recruitment for internationals) a lot of times labor supply is not the issue

If you’re serious about leaving the United States, you had better do your homework. Here's what it takes to immigrate to 5 countries.

Not only low-hanging, but also massively impactful. This combination is so rare.

How our immigration policies should be for this ...

Yes, but let the market decide who is the “best and brightest.”

If you guys make it straightforward I’d gladly come over, work 10 years for 3x my current salary and pay taxes, and then fuck off back to EU before I start burdening the healthcare and pension systems

The USA should only be bringing in people for roles where they will be paid median wages, or above. Do so for highly skilled and low-skilled roles. Bring in people that employers see as being above median performers. Additionally, consider opening legal permanent residency to

Especially from poor countries like the EU, where their talents are now being wasted.

I have a dozen friends who are developers and own companies in Europe. Specifically, in Spain. A few of them want to college in the US. Not one of them would ever want to come to United States under any circumstances.

And soon, senior engineers would be more common in the US and paid less

@BeatrizGietner

YES

not sure if this is great. i think we should encourage eu to be more pro innovation and high skill immigration. we dont want our allies to lack talent.

@GuilleNavarroM

Why are you amplifying such a simplistic thread?

I could not afford to live in Silicon Valley for less than $500K so this salary isn’t going to make it better

Yes, we will trade a Venezuelan gang member for each engineer.

Nah, give them work permits specifically requiring them to return by a set date and exclude their current/future family from anything other than tourist visas.

We already have the best tech companies in the world, and they are already disproportionately foreign-born compared to other industries.

—-would that “Gang of 8” immigration bill from 2014 have solved a lot of our immigration woes? Boehner killed it, but with this cabinet of billionaires and Rubio as SoS, maybe there’s a real possibility here to resurrect and improve it.

But also...and I mean *also*...don't be so openly hostile toward the tech sector as European nations. Those who govern us seem to think they should be.

One day ai "influencers" will learn about cost of living and purchasing power but that day is not today. Also 65k for a senior dev is bullcrap.

no thanks.

Correct. We should also be focusing on vacuuming up brilliant Chinese business people who are tired of their incompetent and repressive government. At the same time we need to deport unskilled illegals who are depressing the wages of working class Americans.

They seem to be replacing their talent with pre-civilized and it shows.

Also other “low level” immigrant labor as well. The country would benefit if we had a much more liberal immigration policy generally. More workers and consumers is good.

American exceptionalism at its best.
