Europe is not that bad. Yes it is nice to earn $120k in Silicon Valley, but life is extremely expensive with $3500&#x2F;m rent for a 1br apt. Get a job in my home town Amsterdam, earn $80k and spend only $1000 on an apartment. Uber moved its mobile engineering team there for a reason.<p>In general, the entrepreneurial scene is much smaller, but if you want to concentrate on SE Europe is fine.
