    Unless you want to stay permanently, then you had better be ready for wave after wave of anti-immigration policy

      Those policies do not target researchers or other highly skilled migrants. Stop treating immigration as a monolithic block.

        Depends where in Europe you are. In many countries, immigration policy does treat immigrants as a monolithic block. I live in one of them. It may be easier to get a work visa as a highly skilled person, but it doesn’t change much when it gets to applying for permanent residency or citizenship.

      But only from like 50% of the people and those people don’t like Trump either so they actually understand you left your country. Also, the whiter you look the less people will see you as an immigrant. And once you tell people you have a job and pay taxes even the biggest racist suddenly stops caring about whether you are or aren’t a local.
