Looking around at all the things going wrong abroad, especially my home country. I’m so grateful to have immigrated to the US. Say what you want about all the flaws here, but there’s no better place to be.

How can you seriously say ‘there’s no better place to be’ without have experienced the other ~200 countries in the world

US leads in total number of immigrants, which is not very meaningful (obviously, the US can accommodate more immigrants than Switzerland or Singapore)

Saudi Arabia has actually a higher % of immigrants (13M out of a population of 34M) and ranks 3rd overall in total numbers. Based on your logic, Saudi Arabia should be a great place to live as well.

Immigration is a really complex topic with many factors: Geographic (easier for a Mexican to come to US than New Zealand), political (how many immigrants are allowed into a country?), language barrier, cultural and religious factors etc

What I’m saying is that you can’t use a single statistic to say ‘there’s no better place in the world’

Agree that despite its own unique problems, US still aces to incentivize staying away from home. And when most of us immigrants complain, we largely do because home country was our birth right, but US was our choice , and that it pains us to see US regress.

I am in a tech IC position. One of friends switched to FAANG by converting the profile to consultant profile. The friend who might have less tech knowledge than me is now in FAANG and earning more. If the end goal would be that the friend might one day be a product manager and me an engineering manager taking instructions from the same friend, isn't consultant profile an easier path to growth. I had been practising DSA for years and the competition is only ever growing.
