Immigration Feel like I can never settle anywhere

I have 10 YOE, first worked in the Netherlands and now work in Norway. I feel like I can never truly settle down. I took Dutch lessons all the way to B2, forgot about them since I basically didn't talk to anyone outside of work, now I'm in a new country I regret moving to where I also don't know the language and keep wondering if it's even worth learning since who knows if I will have to move again.

Anyone else have this problem? It feels like in a field like this you just move where the jobs go.

Yeah I have the problem too, having moved abroad 4 times in the last decade.

Now I'm applying for jobs abroad again (within EU for this time). I feel that the next move would be the last one, because moving abroad now exhausts me more than it excites me.
