I mean, it's not like it's impossible to assemble a team that can become top talent.

But they need the ability to "level up" (by working with already existing high tech). And then they leave for the US anyway heh.

This is a bit of a doubled-edged sword for German companies actually.

For example, Bosch has a research campus in california to try to achieve this.

The problem is, that after being 2 years in the US "becoming top talent", you now have the option of staying there making $$$ or coming back to germany.

Even companies like Bosch that invest a lot of money in these types of systems, have huge problems making competitive offers for the people that consider going back.
