While it certainly has its problems, east Europe is probably the most attractive place for people like us. Can't really talk at the moment though since I need to fix my sleep schedule

It was a while ago and probably an off-the-cuff remark, but when you were talking about your most recent job hunt you said something to the effect of "My country actually hates me, and I have no reason to stay here."
Have you considered where it might be good to go to? I have come to a similar conclusion and am thinking about what are good places for a technically skilled person to emigrate to.

I don't see immediately why Eastern Europe is best. My thoughts look like:
-Japan/Taiwan seem like decent places, but might be subject to Chinese politics.
-Scandinavian countries might be good if you have the ability to tolerate the cold.
-Portugal is often overlooked but I've heard nothing negative about them.
-Panama is popular for some reason, but it might just be a cheap place to retire to if you've stacked 6-7 figs.
Instantly off the list are:
-Australia/New Zealand/Germany/UK, due to embarrassingly heavy censorship and surveillance.
-China/African countries, as they are ethnostates where we're not the ethnicity.
-Russia, as they have an aggressive draft and we are men.
-Middle Eastern countries, as they are a permanent warzone.
Worth considering but highly questionable are:
-India/Argentina/Brazil/Philippines/Malaysia, as they lack the serious problems of the US but have notable corruption and poverty.
-Egypt. It doesn't seem to have a notable tech industry, but otherwise seems to have no real problems.
