New Jersey seems to be the worst state in the union. Highest taxes, most corrupt politicians (no surprise, it’s a D state), residents are denied constitutional rights e.g carrying a weapon.

It will turn into another blunder just like Ministry of Truth that Bidens woke handlers proposed.

I was told that most people don’t make much more due to progressive taxes

There are A LOT of disadvantages in the U.S in comparison to Sweden, but salary is not one of them. I’m a DevOps/Site Reliability Engineer, currently working full time for a midwest manufacturing company. I found the job thanks to networking, knowing a couple of people who was working for a startup that was acuired by the company I currently work for. Market is difficult right now, but it is still possible to find a well paying job. I have a bachelor degree in Sociology, so it is totally unrelated to my current job.

A good place to stay? I was renting a 2bd apt in Stockholm for 22000 SEK while making only 60k before taxes, after tax it was something like 38k. Yeah, sure, my kids daycare was subsidized and I didn’t have to worry about my health insurance, but what I was left with after taxes and rent was barely enough for us. Tbh I even was behind 1500 SEK copay on daycare a couple of times because of how little money I had. We had to eat mostly ätsnart items from ICA, I couldn’t afford to buy a bicycle, so I had to borrow one from a neighbor and fix it up, just to save some money on commuting because of expensive fares. The bicycle got stolen eventually. After one year our landlord booted us even though I asked them in advance to renew the contract, a friend of mine told me that this is because I would be eligible for första hand rent contract after living there for 2 years, so landlords never renew 2nd hand rent contracts. We couldn’t find another place to live afterwards and had to rent an Airbnb for a while. I moved to Cleveland OH afterwards. I make 2 times more now while paying only 1,600$ for a 3bd house. Our landlord is begging us to renew the contract. We can afford a car. We live normal life now.

I don’t get anything for being on call, neither I receive anything for working on an accident. Sometimes I am allowed to have extra free time next work day. At the same time, we don’t have many accidents and I mostly ignore calls unless it is convenient for me to look up whats going on. There are 2 people, me and my manager.
