    I assume you’re taking a big hit salary-wise (a trade-off I would make, for the record).

      Cost of living. You earn a lot less in Europe/ UK, but you pay far less to have a basic standard of living, and enjoy the safety net.

      Well I’m going back to school there first to get an actual degree. After that though yeah I’m expecting to make around 1/3 what I am currently, between switching countries and going from automation engineering to level design. I think it’ll be a worthwhile trade-off too

        If you take into account all the things you don’t have to pay, that salary is not that low
