Side question - how do people get the opportunity to move so easily? I work in Tech and the market is brutal right now

Personally I work in academia so relocating is significantly easier (doesn’t require local language at work, academia has a foreign worker culture), and I did it before US scientists collectively realized what happened and wanted to get the fuck out… Even then it was difficult for me to find a job. Sadly I don’t think it is as easy for tech…
Also I suspect moving between different states in the US or between different EU member states would be significantly easier

Luckily we really like it here, so we are not planning a new move any time soon.
