Any recommendations on where to look? Specialized Sr Software Architect with a lot of Healthcare and Defense experience. I just need to be able to bring my family. Completely unconcerned about any amount of paycut. I just want my children to grow up safe. I've been looking at Ireland mainly, but open to any suggestions.
- Canada? What's your background is the honest answer because if you can get some sort of naturalization through your parents it's the best bet.
  
  Honest question though if YouTube has taught me anything it's that America is unique on if you leave you're still obligated to pay taxes to America and if your renounce your citizenship you're still obligated to pay America. Seriously the country is a racket.
- If you can eventually get citizenship in on EU country, you can work in any of them.
  
  Sr Software Architect? Generally speaking, Netherlands is going to be the best salary range for you and first 5 years I believe you can get a tax cut.
  
  In Estonia, we have Milrem, which is doing military robotics. Not sure who, if anyone, is doing a decent healthcare solution. In my country the government orders new developments through RFPs rather than some single company making and selling a solution I believe.
- To add to the previous comment: netherlands but there is an housing issue. Belgium has in military the FN Herstal weapons manufacturing plant, and a few stuff linked to NATO. But on a healthcare level, there are loads of pharma companies (GSK, Johnson, UCB, Solvay, Viatrus,... ). France has Dassault, so there is loads linked with military and software alike. And they have Sanofi in healthcare.
  
  Big companies will go through bigger loops to help you with a visa. But in any case a lot of specialities can recieve fast tracked visa applications
