I think I’m in your camp, but unfortunately stuck in Europe. Does it make sense to vote with your feet when you’re 44?

If you line up a good opportunity in the US, it could. At 44 you probably made decisions based on the expectations for Europe's safety net when you get older. This would be reset when coming to the US. But depending on what you do, it's possible to command enormous salaries in the US, in which case this move would make a lot of sense.
