I wonder if the EU will begin trying to recruit American software engineers. I’d love to move to France.

Will not. You should love to move youself to pay 30% more taxes and work for 30% less salary (not sure what percentage to apply first).

> pay 30% more taxes

This is scaremongering - taxes are in no way 30% higher in EU.

Someone pulling mid-6-figures in the Valley is already paying a ~35% effective tax rate (state + medicare + federal). That same person taking a low-6-figures job in Spain would pay ~40% effective tax rate - and Beckam's Law would likely cut that to 24% for the first 6 years in any case

first, one have to prove he is 24 not 40. taxes can tell 24 and tell you do 40 becauses they decided so.

add social security percentage. while one still need real insurance and pension saving on top. yes, one 6 figure person have to pay two times. once for self and other one unemployed local drunk.

and on top, when one buys anything, all things are taxed 2x compared to usa(but i guess trump tries fo equalize that).

on top. there are prices for locals and foreigners. one will pay 2x for coffee, rent, parking, all.

and yeah, one is foreigner? does not know hidden language of locals? wait in all queues 2x longer. so social security medcine is something one never sees.

Mate, I made this exact move ~5 years ago, it's really not that hard to learn a foreign language and navigate a bit of bureaucracy (although I will admit, Spain may be better than most in this regard)
