The "finding a job" part is the sticking point, I'm finding. Many places are clamping down on immigration due to the various enduring refugee crises of the last decade, and even when one has a profession listed by their target country's government as a high-demand occupation, few employers are willing to jump through hoops to hire somebody who doesn't already have a visa and work authorization.
Right now I'm looking at international firms with US presence as a way to perhaps get assigned overseas down the road, but it's not a straightforward process. Unless you've got the liquidity buy a "golden visa" (cheapest option right now is Malta at €125k...) most of the easy visa options only allow for tourism or education, not work and long-term residency.
Finding jobs might be a tad trickier but there's really no reason for it to be complicated to move from one western country to the other, especially if you're not from a minority.

Took my family to the UK. Out of the graveyard and into the toilet 😃

I have three American friends that moved to Australia. Two specifically to raise families better.
