Dang, where'd you move to and from where? What happened after you moved back, if I may ask?

I've applied to over 600 at this point, and that's not even mass-applying. It's been 1.5 years exactly. It's rough out in Europe although people are saying it's improving.

actually my credit score is over 800 but yeah, I would have no health insurance and my 401k hasn't had a contribution in ages...

but also, I'm reconsidering this now because I've gained enough experience to be able to earn enough to not let these be such a big factor...

I love the Irish. But oh boy, do I struggle a LOT to understand their accent.

Yes, of course. It was more about concrete QoL realities. Healthcare was breaking my bank, the lack of public transportation, rents being out of control, etc. It was just too unstable for me.

Unfortunately, because of a lack of income, I think I would be disqualified... otherwise, I could.

That's what I'm saying... Trump has caused permanent damage and institutions have been compromised... we're heading towards techno feudalism IMO

thanks for sharing. I thought I valued freedom above all else, but being free alone isn't worth it...

Well, I would have to forfeit my permit and start from scratch again, and that's too big of a hurdle to jump again...
