I am on the other side of the equation. Graduating this summer with Masters in Artificial Intelligence, I always wanted to immigrate to USA and work on solving interesting problems. But NO WAY I am doing this now. With all the recent things going, you never know when your life will be flipped upside down. And I can't risk investing so much efforts/time into such process (especially that I am muslim). I think there's a lot of other people like me. Even with the companies problem, I think, more people than ever now don't want to go to the US. Germany seems like a way much better choice now.
