Is this the US talking? I still have recruiters contacting me, not as often as before but still getting messages on LinkedIn (European here).
The market here seems to be buzzing if you are willing to move. There are pages and pages of devops, sysadmin, software developer, software architect,... . On one website j searched "sysadmin" and it found 10k jobs across Europe! They also seemed up to date when I was checking them out.
Most well paying jobs are in West and North Europe, they also have quite interesting jobs, even in opensource companies. Italy and Greece can't seem to be desperate for people, but their wages are trash. They don't seem to be doing much interesting stuff either. Just run of the mill stuff.
But yeah, Europe looks busy busy busy at the moment and very acceptable for people willing to move.

US citizen here living in Spain. Any good tips on how to get a job in the EU if I don't have residency? (I'm here with my wife who is on a student visa) I have had a few recruiters reach out, and some good interest when I have pinged some companies on linkedin but no one is able to sponsor a work visa. Maybe I'm looking in the wrong country.
Sorry, I'm European myself, so it's not in the same situation and I have no experience with it. Most of my non-EU colleagues got here through student visas, then got a job, and just stayed. Others started out in large companies abroad and relocated with those companies. The only US American I know here was relocated by their company.
A quick search found https://relocate.me/ Maybe they can help you?
Good luck!
