My 2 cents: stay in the states. You'll make a lot more money with your skillset if you are even moderately capable at what you say you can do. And after a few years in corporate land, go overseas or have built up a big enough client list and skills that you can work remotely.
It would be a shame for someone with C++/R/Python experience to be doing marginally better than an English teacher when plenty of opportunities exist in finance and tech.
Money is not the concern and I'm not willing to work 60+ hours/wk for many finance and tech companies. I don't want to work for a boss and want the freedom to work on my own,whenever I want and wherever. Even if I should work in the US first, how can I just go overseas after a few years? I've heard its becoming much less common to get expat packages to work overseas
