Well I have uprooted my life like this and it is nowhere as dramatic as it is made out here specially in in-demand , well paid professions.

In fact every year millions of people across the world are uprooting their lives moving from villages to cities, across states, countries, continents with absolutely meagre resources compared to high income software engineers.

Sure this person had some bad luck but to make it some kind of story about injustices in the modern world is ,frankly, more horrifying.

This entitlement is breathtaking. How about people not taking international positions if it is such a huge risk and sacrifice for little gain to them.

Competing for jobs with 10k+ people who are more qualified than you during industry-wide hiring freezes must be fun.
