I just configured @raycast to execute a bash script that runs AppleScript that tells Safari to click a bookmarklet that executes JavaScript that triggers a < keydown event, just so I can decrease Youtube playback speed via a hotkey on a Swedish keyboard. AMA.

My Take on low Engineering Salaries in Europe and why EU is still a good enough choice for many Indians who want to immigrate!
You can't compare US/Indian salaries against European salaries.
The standard of living and how society works in general in America/India is very much different than in Europe.
For e.g: After paying 50% in taxes some positive things I received as an immigrant which I’ve to pay if I was working in India despite of paying 30% in taxes.
- I get very decent healthcare if not the best.
- My kid's education is totally sponsored by the government, with No toxic marks pressure etc.
- He is doing swimming, horse riding, playing football etc.. with a very nominal fee and that too with good coaches!
- My spouse can work here from day 1 on a dependent visa which is missing in H1B.
- My spouse pursuing her master's and again it’s completely sponsored by the government!
- She started working recently and making our house income more than double instantly!
- Best AQI, less population, excellent driving sense in 99% of people on roads.
- I can travel across Europe on a single Visa!
- High trust society.
- No overworking at workplaces, people respect work-life boundaries!
- No need to worry about layoff as paying to unions got covered me for 11months if any day I don’t get next work assignment.
- A good chunk of CTC goes to pension benefits so retirement is kind of set in India 😉 if I plan to come back today I’ll get 1 lakh INR per month pension.
- The best part is - 6 week’s summer vacation 😊
Salary doesn't define you.
It's not common for developers in Europe to make $100-500K annually But the system here is very much different.
Comparisons need to be done carefully.
To be born in Europe or America can be considered a very lucky occurrence for most people.
It’s you who needs to design your lifestyle and what matters to you the most!!
As mentioned in past—- if money is the only selection process then Europe is not for you!
Stay in India or Go to the USA!
And at last— close to India so I can fly back within 10-12 hours in case of emergency to parents or family and friends!
