In a way depends, want to live the ultimate eurofag American experience? Do California. Realize that most of the shit you see is actually just movie stuff? Houston.
Texas is unironically becoming a pretty cool spot, and on top of that, your cost of living is going to be dramatically more relaxed than in south Cali.
>Tax
AFAIK you won't be paying taxes on it because you bought it in Bulgaria. Essentially, it's like you own houses in Bulgaria and if you were to sell them living in America, you don't pay tax to America for some asset you have in fucking Bulg.

>>16294765
Yes I bet California is great with their police force suffering from extreme paranoia and suicide rates higher than N. KOREA. Dont worry MSM will never mention this

Both Texas and California are hell and you decide to spend time there you deserve bad becuase I am begging you to not live in those 2 states.

Anything but

You only get one chance why would spend 1 second in those dumps

I just came back from Macedonia and I went to the slums looked like Palm Beach of Florida....Texas is like living in Hitler era .......you live in extreme heat like an oven

Commiefornia is full of bad people and LGBt ....not all stupid ass we know this

But the majority of people are trash

Why surround yourself ?

kek. Bulgaria is nice so be prepared to get bored in Houston

>>16294785
>ultimate eurofag American experience
If anything, my idea of Texas is romanticised cause of the right-wing circlejerk forums I've frequented.
First thing I think about when I hear Houston is "even the parks are private".
First thing I think about when I hear LA is "homeless, crime, shit on street".
Besides, if I'm to move, I'm taking my wife and baby with me, so Cali is getting less and less attractive.
>>16294817
> Anything but
Interesting. I have no intention of moving there for good, I was considering a 1-2 year stunt.
I make $50k/yr in Bulgaria (net 44k) - and with the cost of living difference, it's getting more and more obvious that I'm not gonna be doing better in the States.
The Cali part is well covered, but what makes Texas a shithole?

>>16294834
>become a selqnin
already am
>work remote
I was hoping to actually steal a project from the States and outsource it in Bulgaria for the real $$$. But looking closer, the TX offer is by a intermediary, so that's not happening anyway...
>>16294842
>No job or trait nor career is worth YOUR LIFE
Which is why I'd rather stick to making $50k+ and effectively working 20 hours per week in BG from cafes, lol. But I got excited after getting accepted for both jobs and stopped thinking clearly for a second. Besides, I might be missing some details, gotta give the anons the chance to convince me.
>>16294854
>be prepared to get bored in Houston
I thought it was old-school hip. Like bars and nightlife-hip, not pee-in-a-box and call it art - hip (eg Portland, LA). Is it rather dull instead?

>>16294742
Every person I know who lives in California dreams of moving away from there, so I strongly don't recommend it. Houston's a bit of a shithole too, but you can still live like a king there if you make $95K, as opposed to $120K in California which gives you the purchasing power of a near minimum wage wagie

im kinda in the same boat and a fellow yurofag. I have a job offer in palm beach county, would save aboatload in taxes but pay like 2-3x my rent and the wagie dollars are the same. now I kinda already got the VISa process started have I dun goofed? feels like its kinda pointless and I will be surrounded by stupid amerimutts for a year or two not sure if its worth it desu.

Don't bother leaving those cities. Everywhere outside sucks. Thank you.

Doing what? Why is it that every job offer in this country requires three fucking years of experience and people from other countries are getting hired?

hottest women in usa are in socal. choose socal. dont go to norcal though

t. resident of neither locations: Cost of Living, your SoCal salary falls about $20k short of how far that $95k takes you in Houston. Texas is, by most major U.S. city standards, cheap. You could rent something better in Houston at that salary and have room to play. Especially if you're moving with a family. The downsides to Houston is that it's hot and parts can get flooded. It's not very scenic. California has better weather and views. If you plan on making a few trips with your family, then I wouldn't even consider Cali. 20 Miles from LA, but where in LA would you be expected to commute? Houston has traffic, but don't let any texas-anons scare you, it's nothing like L.A.

Houston has some cool spots, and Austin an San Antonio aren't a hard drive. It's not like LA where you're living in someone's instagram feed. People in Houston are way more down to earth. Honestly, I'm not sure I'd uproot a young family to either location unless you're fulfilling some lifelong dream.

>>16294999
checked fren. what my boss told me is that amerimutts are lazy and thats why he prefers to hire european chads.

>>16295037
His lifelong dream is to steal a project and outsource it to Bulgaria, didn't you read his post? Just another wonderful addition to the United States brought to by our wonderful visa system.

You'll probably move back to Bulgaria due to the amount of black and nonwhite people. There's so many of them. I couldn't belive it the first time I went to the US.
Also that's not enough money to live in a white suburb in either city.

Have you ever been to the states before? I got offered a mechanical engineering job in San Antonio for 160k but I said no after I went for a scouting vacation there.

I live in Madrid now. I like it so far.

>>16295091
Good job бaтe.
I got lazy after landing a full stack .net MVC + some shit up MSSQL remote job for some UK cucks for less than half your income and stopped learning new shit about 6 years ago. Now I regret it but I am probably too old to learn. Sip.

>>16295087
>>16295102
To add to this, in the previous case the project I "stole" was one where the contractor company was paid 780,000 EUR to rewrite some old VB code. 400 methods in total. 6 months later they had delivered 0.
I didn't steal it, lazy westerners basically threw it at me and then (probably) took to 4chan to blame the government for not preventing competition, lol.
I charged the parent company 80k/year per dev, which at that time was not cheaper than hiring germans. But germans simply don't work. Like at all. They're lazy as shit, they go to work 3 times per week, pretend to be ill the other 2 and you can see them throwing frisbees in the English garden afterwards. The time they spend at work is mostly facebook and instagram. They don't even have junior-level understanding of OOP, fucks sake.
Although in this case I'm pretty sure Americans have much better work ethic. Britbongs I've worked with weren't lazy at all, same with Israelis. I think it's a continental western europe thing.

that's a stretch tho, unless you mean gypsies with bg passports, in which case, hold on to your wallet.

Mostly got lucky with my network providing short-term projects. I don't really have a stable job, I made 200k in 2017 and I'm in the negative for 2018 and 2019 (I barely work though, having a kid/pregnant wife is tough when all the grandparents are at selo and you're in Sofeto).
If you just buy a pluralsight membership on black friday, and then spend a month catching up you'll be a better dev than me, srs. Just study some nosql and build some AI system on your own. Shouldn't take more than 2-3 months.

>>16295204
Thanks lad. I'm currently responsible for fixing 5 shitskin interns' code so after my 10 hours of tearing my hair out I mostly just wanna walk the dogs and go to sleep, but i keep promising myself that next year I'll quit, retrain and get another job where I don't babysit everyone.

>>16295219
Yeah, if you're putting that much effort into your job, you probably should. I'm a shit developer compared to most Bulgarians I know but that doesn't stop me either.
Fucking german cunts easily make 100k EUR barely working 3 days per week nowadays, and you're most certainly better than them. Don't sell yourself cheap, especially to foreignfags.
My Bulgarian jobs ruined my self esteem for way too long and I did the same, I'm glad I stayed at a job for 7 months in Soimany, where I saw how much better a second year Bulgarian student is compared to a german senior architect. Not even exaggerating, these cunts are dumb and lazy af.
Britbongs make way less money than germans too, and they work way harder. I never quite understood how that works. Even in Londonistan salaries are lower than in eastern germany.
So if you want money go looking for a german project, but if you want decent colleagues stick to britbongs lol.

>>16295259
19 year old Romanian here, what advice do if I want to get into coding with practically 0 experience for money? Where should I learn and how long would it take? Also, I've heard Westerners can be indolent at times, but this seems surreal, care to share any more stories?

He's Bulgarian. If he were standing behind the counter at 7/11 selling you cigarettes and wearing a Sikh headwrap you wouldn't even tell he was born in Europe

>>16295165
You won't need to live in a white suburb. All of the Hispanics would probably invite you to join MS13 when they see your dark complexion. Your pajeet co workers will probably start talking with you in Hindi when they see that you're a fellow brown man with an H1B visa

>>16295302
Not sure what knowledge path is seeing the most demand in Romania. Go to a jobs site and figure this part out for yourself. Mine is .net so pluralsight.com is the best source for information - I personally pay for my subscription but most of the stuff can be found on rutracker.
Don't go the java route unless a "stable boring job" is of any interest.
Learn some modern js, honestly, I learned while working, you'll need a book for that, just check out what's more popular on amazon, read, write code, it's not complicated.
If you want a more streamlined process you might wanna give softuni a try. It's a Bulgarian startup specializing in education for codemonkey (learning by practice) and they seem to have the best automated grading platform out there (they give you a task, you write the code, upload it to their servers and it automatically runs some tests to check if your code is working fine). I know they recently expanded to Romania and the first few months are free so check it out.
Once you know how to code, here's my 2 cents:
You have two paths to victory.
1. Move abroad, keep your Romanian work ethic and don't give in to westerncuck laziness. Impress, go higher up in hierarchy quick, expand network and make use of the low taxation at home when they decide they want to expand the business.
2. My way - stay in your home country, study business (not officially use the internet) while working. Be good at your job and also start some side hustles. By the time you're senior-level you'll be glad you stayed, again thanks to the low taxation.

Thanks. The more I think about it, the more I feel like I'll just visit as a tourist instead of moving, but it's on my list fo sho.

>>16294858
Lol, they just are, ok?
Texas, Cali, newyork, n Florida. Fuck those big city habitats.
But also fuck Detroit, fuck Gary, fuck Michigan, fuck Wyoming, fuck Maine, fuck Rhode island, fuck Arizona, fuck Nevada, fuck Nebraska, fuck Oklahoma, fuck 90% of middle of nowhere flyover state nothing towns and huge as fuck city's. Do you like to feel appreciation for humans and nature? Don't come to America unless for a vacation with tons of cash. Everything is heading for the drain and it already sucks bad comparably to most other first world country's, I would have moved by now if immigrants werent a crises everywhere in europe/aus/Canada

>>16295587
>fuck Wyoming
>fuck Maine
Really got me wondering here. How come?

>>16294742

Both have shit climates (do you prefer earthquakes or hurricanes?), the same shitskin percentage of population, and same urban sprawl. So really the defining factor is money. $120k in California is lower-middle class; $95k in Texas is upper class. Houston is dirt cheap in comparison to LA and doesn't have a state income tax nor does it have a housing shortage (Houston is one of the few cities in the world with virtually no zoning laws).

>>16295809
Maine. What's so main about it(kek) Record winters even worse than Alaska? Where's the city? Is there even a mall in that state? Maybe if I wanted to farm shrimp or lobster trap but honestly fuck that shit. And fuck farms in heavy winter states.
Wyoming is still a nothing state. Still a poor state. Still a no city state. Maybe good for the 4th if july(the good stuff available) maybe if your wealthy you can go for 4thbof July, maybe find a non shitty lake to boat around in n go vroom like a comfy retired hick.

>>16294742
SF area reporting in, can't speak to LA specifically but avoid California like the plague unless you really, really like legal marijuana. This place has the worst people ever.

It's not even about political leftist stuff. I'm a leftist and I can't stand these people. They're the fakest motherfuckers in the world. It's like every single one of them is one of the C-list popular kids from high school and they moved out here specifically to create their own high school where they get to be the bullies. The result is a bunch of autistic fucks wheedling and crabbing one another over imagined social faux pas they literally made up on the spot.

Like just imagine the most pretentious nerd in your school had a cult and you'll more or less have the right image.

I know saying "money isn't everything" is both obscenely inappropriate and particularly wise, but have some fucking pride and appreciate where you are. The zionist and nigger shithole of America will chew you down to your very soul. Even though you only intend to stay for a year or two, Bulgaria is and has been the worst effected country in the world in terms of emigration and brain drain. I guarantee you won't find happiness in America.
