Hey blind!

I'm a software engineer leading the data and platform teams at a very rapidly growing startup, I was the 3rd technical hire and now we're about to hit series B, and been seeing crazy growth.

I'm visiting friends in Berlin for the week and serrrrriously considering moving here in the next 6-9 months. I'm pretty happy w/ my current job and have always wanted to live here.

I'm already fully remote and I know my company would support it, we have some offshore programmers in Poland who work with us. So we have EU presence.

I love NY don't get me wrong it's my home but want to try and do something different for a while. Is it possible to keep on my NYC level comp and growth track at a US based startup while living in Berlin as a expat? I know I'm due for further advancement and don't want to kneecap potential comp growth as the company continues to grow.
