It's kind of like that everywhere. My employer can't find software engineers and when they do someone else always ends up offering them more money.

However, an American looking for a good (European) place to start a business are likely to find Amsterdam the easiest to deal with. The Dutch-American Friendship Treaty makes it trivial to get a residence permit allowing us to work. All you need is a business plan, health insurance and €4,500 in your bank account.

I still like Berlin better though!
