Once they pay "modern" US health insurance (esp after a layoff) and also need to raise a family, the vast majority will crawl back through lava.

Still no - PPP (that’s after expenses such as food, healthcare, housing, etc) is significantly higher in the United States.

  • I believe that would be true (after food, housing, healthcare, taxes, child-care, etc) only for a very narrow band of senior SWE's. And you are still not considering employment protection. And for junior or mid-level SWE's, not at all true for the overwhelming majority.

    • This is true not only for SWEs, but for the median worker in the United States.
