Ask HN: Have you moved to another country?

Hi! I'm a fellow hacker from Buenos Aires, Argentina. The country is in a long process of continuous decadence and this pandemic made the things even worse. Along with the daily changes of rules that we have to experience and adapt, the insane amount of taxes, the inflation, the devaluation against US dollar and the growing insecurity it's becoming a pretty difficult place to live.

I've a pretty good financial status here, I'm a contractor/consultant with a nice local network, I own a home and enough savings to last for several years without working. All my family is living here and leaving them would be pretty sad. Those are the things delaying my decision to move to some place in Europe (I've Italian citizenship) and start a new life there with my wife and newborn.

Have you moved to another country? What was your experience? Did you move with a job lined up?
