I think it is alright. I actually had the choice to move to the US and I picked Europe instead.

If the measure of "winning" is chasing any current hype so that line goes up no matter the cost, I would rather not be in such a place.

Where in US and where in Europe?

I think that that Berlin is 100x better than Atlanta. But on the other hand, San Francisco is a million times better than Milan.

That totally depends. If you're focused on tech, then that's one thing. But if you want overall quality of life, I can't imagine this is true. Work/life balance seems way more balanced in pretty much any part of Europe. It also probably depends on one's age.

Have you been to San Francisco lately? Huge swathes of the city look like scenes from Resident evil

FAANG, west coast.

I firmly believe my quality of life where I live is many times better than in places like San Francisco or Seattle. In many ways, this was likely the best decision I ever made.

Not getting too specific to avoid having my HN account being in any way related to my real identity. In fact, it is about time I should create a new account and retire this one.
