    anecdotally, I know people finishing their phds that have jobs lined up elsewhere in the world because there are no federal science job openings

    the brain drain is real and self-imposed

      Hello. Yes, count me too. I’m American but I have been just skipping any postings around the US. I love the people and the landcape, and I miss family dearly, but I can’t do my job there, which is a shame because not many people can do what I do, especially in the US.
