No, if I’m between real jobs, I do whatever other sorts of work needed to pay my bills. I have worked with plenty of high skilled people who did just as I described though, immigrants, Americans, etc. they earn twice a European salary for two years, then get laid off in a downturn or quit and spend a year doing dumb shit and net out ahead anyway.
What industry are you in that an American salary is competitive with a European equivalent? Not only is the cost of living in Europe lower than it is in the United States the renumerations are also consistently higher.

What are you talking about.

The only American salaries consistently lower than European salaries are service worker salaries, who are not high skilled workers.
And what does that extra money get you in the long run?
Probably healthcare, doctors, nurses, PA’s, techs etc. make a lot less in Europe than in the US. But they also don’t have nearly the associated debt.
