Summary

European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen outlined the EU’s vision as a global economic leader during the World Economic Forum, contrasting Trump’s “America First” policies.

She highlighted Europe’s advantages, including its large single market, social infrastructure, and commitment to the Paris climate accord, while emphasizing new alliances with Latin America, Africa, and Asia.

Avoiding direct criticism of Trump, von der Leyen underscored the EU’s stability and rules-based approach.

Her speech signaled a pivot away from U.S.-centric relations and a focus on global trade diversification.

    Yeah, this is what I’ve heard. I’m absolutely willing to learn a new language, but understand that ‘willing to learn’ and ‘already knows’ are two different things. Do you know of any websites that aggregate job postings with visa sponsorships?

      I’d be a much happier person if I knew any.

      Most job posting websites are inundated with crap postings, it’s hard enough to find a job posting that has an actual job behind it, and not just some shitty HR company collecting data. And the market is in a downturn, some of those people laid off in a wave are still looking for jobs.

      Don’t get me wrong, I hope for the best for you, and I hope you get to make the move, it’s just that I had a very recent, very bad experience with the whole thing.

      All I can say is that job postings vary by country, it’s like social media, one country is all Linkedin, the next one will go all on Indeed, some places will have their own platforms… try researching a specific country.

        Yeah, that’s what I’ve found so far as well, mostly crap postings (though frankly it feels little different in the US). I’ve had Sweden in mind for awhile, have done some digging and have the Pimsleur Swedish course downloading. Found an email for an aerospace professor with research in my field of interest but haven’t reached out yet. Did reach out to a former professor/research lead to pick his brain about emigrating in general this morning but haven’t heard back yet.

        Frankly though, the career, mission, dream I was striving for is in the hands of a manchild throwing fascist salutes at the US presidential inauguration and that pisses me the fuck off. I’m trained as an engineer but am not opposed to wearing multiple hats, Ukraine looks like it could use a hand and I’m all about mutual aid.
