Is there anyone here from the US that moved abroad to work as SWE, research SWE, or research scientist positions?
Nearing the end of my PhD in comp sci. Have interned at Google Research, MSR, and FAIR under some big names. Good pub record. Etc.
I'll likely have good offers in the US, but I'm looking for a change. I've travelled a lot, sometimes for months at a time, to many other countries. Always wanted to live abroad, and I figure now might be the time to go for it when I finish the PhD.
I'm considering Switzerland, Sweden, Singapore, South Korea (holy crap, I'm apparently biased toward countries beginning with S...), Taiwan or Japan.
Should I expect a large drop in expected TC, or is it fairly reasonable? Given my vague track record, would I be highly sought after or would it be the same struggle as it is vying for US based positions? Is it better to jump right in, or get a job in the US then transfer? If the latter, let's say I'm with Google/Microsoft, how long do you have to wait before you can request transfer and is it a guarantee you can (pending good performance, etc.), or does it involve random factors?
Any insight or advice for good resources on this would be much appreciated. The majority of info I find regarding this topic is for English teachers or non-phds, so I'm not sure how relevant it is to my situation.

In the US, I have zero interest in becoming a professor, but I never considered this possibility for overseas. Any rough idea for TC being a prof at NTU/NUS?
Plus you get University accomodation which is a good deal
There are some other new universities like SUTD. Not sure how it works there
