Didn't downvote you either, but humans aren't saplings that can be uprooted and planted elsewhere without issues. I've moved countries thrice and I would not recommend that to the general public, especially if they have support from family and friends.

Maybe I haven't found the right thing yet, but I have never had any job or business that had a bigger impact on my quality of life than where I live does. I will never move for a job or business unless I truly can't make enough to survive where I'm living.

I didn't downvote you, but I feel it's inappropriate to tell a random internet stranger how to live their life. So if I had downvoted you, that would have been my reason.

The HN community can be a little elitist.

You shouldn’t be receiving downvotes for stating something that people choose to do everyday which is move their families for better opportunities.

Because moving your family should be a last resort, not something people do to get a bonus.
