  • Hi! I’m an engineer and have done it. It’s of course not easy but it’s totally doable. I guess my really high level advice would be:

    Figure out what country(ies) you’d consider moving to (think about language stuff and your willingness to learn a new one if needed, prevalence of English, cost, climate, culture, etc)

    Look for the visa requirements (very often in tech just “have a job” is enough for you and your family visa wise).

    Look for jobs. Lots of places at least here in Denmark are very aware of the fact that they can get good talent leaving the US right now. My boss literally talks about it weekly. Employers will be glad to help with visas and with help moving. My employer that I moved with found us a place to live (furnished) for 3 months and paid for it, got plane tickets, got someone to help with taxes, of course did visa things, and had someone help with all the “other stuff” like drivers license transfer, understanding healthcare, etc etc

    If you actually want to consider it, it’s really doable. It’s been such a rewarding and amazing experience for us.
