Reminds me of working for DOE and the crazy overhead. “You can do whatever you want, but because of lab overhead, you have exactly one funding source, and that’s us.” From: Friam <[email protected]> on behalf of J Dalessandro <[email protected]> Date: Tuesday, November 12, 2024 at 4:19 PM To: The Friday Morning Applied Complexity Coffee Group <[email protected]> Subject: Re: [FRIAM] Want to leave the U.S.? I moved to New Zealand in 2015 and then Australia in 2016 so happy to provide the rosetta stone for those two countries. Spoiler - almost everyone I've ever encountered on this list would be on the "immediate skills shortage list" which accelerates immigration for both countries. Lots of upside, like $1USD = $1.51AUD, socialised medicine, mandatory employer backed saving for retirement, plenty of space (size of continental USA with a population of 25M). Downsides such as island continent. If it isn't made or grown here it is expensivo. Plus, 14 hours by air if you leave family behind in the USA.
