Geo-arbitrage makes sense if and only if you are an EU citizen. If you aren't like I am, I'm Ukrainian; in the middle of the interview process, you will be thrown away inevitably with a bunch of “politically correct” responses, regardless of your experience. Or you will be hired by the staffing company, which will cut your compensation twice.
