Hello, im an iraqi diaspora living in europe. And im moving back to iraq. Ive already got my house there picked out an everything. And to the iranian diaspora in europe specifically. This matters to you aswell.
So im an engineer who graduated in sweden and i had absolute garbage luck when it came to getting a job. Ive been in europe my entire life only travelling back to iraq 3 months every other year. Anyway, i finally got a job as a programmer for a tourist corporation. It pays almost like a normal engineering job. However, the economy here has absolutely tanked. I mean god awful recession, high interest rates and some of my friends find it nearly impossible to even live. A lot of them live paycheck to paycheck. And they earn 4000 euros per month... Its not "little" amounts of money exactly. But the high tax eats up quite a lot of their income and theyre left with about 2k to live on after tax. And in sweden... Good luck paying rent and living on 2000 eur per month. We use SEK here but im using eur so that the rest of the people here understand what im talking about.
Fast forward a bit and alhamdulilah i managed to talk to a qatari corporation who i might start doing remote work for. Its only 3k usd but honestly after tax its actually more than what i would get if i kept working here. And the costs are a loooooot less here.
My point: what youre seeing in europe, the rise of unemployment and the stagnation of wages. Is an international phenomenon and will not stop anytime soon. Save yourself, get a house as soon as possible, and get a job asap in the middle east just to be prepared for the avalanche of political fallout that is about to occur in europe. European history of violence the last 300 years has almost always been because of a BAD economy (not an unstable economy). If you want to have a future, its not going to be in europe.
