Well, you can't make an individual perspective and use the plural "you are much worse off in the EU" at the same time.

Some individuals will fare better in the US, but on average, you'll fare better in France.

Now I agree with you, financially as a tech engineer, you'll come out with more money working in the US.

I disagree that the extra money will lead to a better quality of life, but QOL is very personal. Some people find pleasure in life from very different things.

This entire discussion is scoped to engineering salaries, I'm not trying to make arguments about everyone regardless of career.

For any given engineer, they are definitely financially worse off in the EU.

I'm sympathetic to QOL arguments. Personally, I really don't like SV. NYC is fairly nice though. Plus, the real secret is that after working here for a few years you can switch to remote work in an even higher QOL city.

Ah, sorry if I generalised your argument, ya in the case of tech engineers I'd have to agree with your statement. If you're a decent engineer, you wont find the kind of financial prospect you do in the big tech cities in the US anywhere else, not even close.
