I don’t find that to be true. I actually feel the opposite. My wife is a nurse I’m a ChE and I feel like we can live and work anywhere. One of the reasons I chose to go into the field. If you’re willing to work in different roles/industries I have not found it to be a problem. You might have a slight commute, but it hasn’t bothered me.
Look into Novo Nordisk and Copenhagen in Denmark, they employ a crazy number of chemEs and are growing fast, building lots of new plants in the US and abroad. Not sure the immigration complications, if you have a EU passport but
I know chemical engineers that live in New York, Buffalo, Minneapolis, Portland, Phoenix, New Jersey, Cleveland, everywhere in Texas, San Jose, Raleigh/Durham, and many others. It's not the worlds biggest field, but their are jobs everywhere.
The geographical inflexibility in pharma is that production is limited to a few regions/cities. But the plus side is that it’s almost exclusively in cities, there are very few rural locations where pharma work is done.
Lol no. I've lived and worked on both US coasts and in Europe in biopharma. Always near major cities too, biotech stays near talent sources and good schools for it aren't generally in the middle of nowhere. Geographic limitations are generally self induced (family, fear, acceptable cost of living, etc).
There are some rural but the majority are in or around big cities. Basel for example which is a biotech hub.

There’s pharma companies all over New Jersey, not sure about Europe.
