Summary
Trump’s proposed cuts to the National Institutes of Health (NIH) threaten U.S. biomedical research, forcing many scientists to consider leaving the country.
A 7 February policy would slash NIH funding by two-thirds, though a federal judge has temporarily blocked it.
Researchers relying on these grants fear for their jobs, with some already exploring options abroad.
The cuts particularly impact neuroscience, diabetes, and bird flu research, while also dismantling DEI initiatives.
Many scientists warn of long-term consequences for innovation and global health collaboration.
Does Europe need IT workers? Software engineers?
YES! Especially germany! Senior developers are highly sought after. But you are expected to speak C1 german…
Greetings from a german Software dev
Sounds like I need to brush up on my German then. Appreciate the answer.
Greetings from a shithole country. Haha
To migrate to germany you need a safe income, job, place to stay and health insurance. You can get the health insurance after you have a contract.
Problem about germany is. Its migration is very tought. Lose your job and you have to leave the country first day you become homeless, unless you are on the european bluecard
“Shithole country” (sorry to make this joke) “Do yoi have any idea how little that narrows it down?”
Ain’t that the truth. Haha, greetings from America. At this point I’m looking at options of what to do. So this definitely helps.
Move to france, germany, spain, denmark, sweden,norway, ireland or any other country in europe except hungary and slovakia
Yes but the pay is literally half of what you could get in the states except for Switzerland.
You may get half but will have way more benefits than ever in the US. The median income of frontend dev is 60k in germany
Software engineering is dying in Switzerland. It’s flooded with layoffs from Credit Suisse, UBS, post covid Google and other faang layoffs in Zurich. IT almost doesn’t exist anywhere else in Switzerland, maybe except from Geneve CERN. Elsewhere they are job positions reserved for swiss if you can play swiss politics and speak Swiss German ( which you can learn only by being raised there )… I spent there 5 years and recently went back to Poland ( I speak both English and standard German but still … dont bank on this that its enough )
