I quit my job of four years because I got a green card and wanted to try to work in the US. I am from Denmark and got the green card through marriage.

Moved to Orlando (as my wife had a job there) and applied to roughly 300 IT jobs but only got 2 interviews. Nothing really came of it, as they either wanted to pay me pennies or I didn’t have enough experience. I had about 4 years of project management experience with a year as a senior project manager (and a MSc in CS). Maybe I was picky but coming from a $95k/y salary and going to a $20/h hourly position wasn’t what I wanted.

My wife’s job couldn’t sustain the both of us, so after 5 months our savings were kinda gone and I got an offer to move back to Denmark and get my old position back.

Pretty happy that I at least tried, else I’m sure I would regret it, but we are happier in Denmark than in the US.
