Is it me or it seems harder to find a full remote job in Cybersecurity in europe?

Question

I'm an Italian cybersecurity professional with 5 years of experience, specialized in identity management and I hear back from Italian companies 100% of the time but less than 10% when I search outside Italy.

It's tough to find a full remote position in cybersecurity compared to developers when I try to get a job from companies outside the Italian perimeter, is there a reason for this or am I just unlucky?

What kinds of companies are you applying to outside of Italy?

Europe is not the US. Hiring is expensive, especially if you are located in Italy.I am hiring in InfoSec and I hire remote, but would never hire in Italy because the social cost and taxes are around 47% while are 17% in Germany and circa 30% in Spain. An Italian salary tend to be around a Spanish one, so given all the rest equal, I would hire a Spanish.The best thing you can do for yourself is move to Northern Europe.Cheers from a fellow Italian (now with a second passport).
