Con is you’ll make a good amount of less money

I worked in both AUS and Latam. For Latam language is a must but can be learned. AUS would be much less of a culture shock. AUS will be harder to 'break into' remotely - tons of people want to move there and bombard firms with CVs. I'd recommend looking through your network to see where you can get an intro. You could always move first then look though that's riskier. WHV are available in both countries, not sure for Americans though.

If you're looking for long-term, I'd definitely consider how much you think you'll feel at home in the new culture. I never felt at home in Latam as people always know you're not from there and stare a lot. Australia is easier to blend into and very similar to US in all thing culture, quality of life, etc.

This is really insightful and much appreciated @EM1

The initial sting of lower comp is real. Took me over a year to come to terms with it. Now I enjoy the improved quality of life in Europe compared to US. I feel like I have more freedom to live here.

Move to the UAE - you make a LOT more money than in the US and tax benefits are real

It depends on your flexibility on where you’ll be and specific work interest. In some areas (e.g., UAE), you’ll make more. Based on that, I would reach out to folks on LinkedIn at companies you’re interested in the regions you want. Your narrative for “why me” should be logical and include why that region

Go to Dubai if you want to make a premium

I’m looking at lessons with a pro. They offer packs of 30 min (6-pack) and 60 min (3-pack) sessions. Is there a benefit to one over the other? Is 30 too short or 60 too long?

I’ve never taken lessons before, just played my whole life. I’m a mid 80s golfer trying to get more consistent and break into the high 70s.

My wife and I are starting a first cycle of IVF. Given how expensive IVF is/can be, wondering if anyone has lessons learned on the insurance front—understanding it varies by plan, of course. We’re currently enrolled in HDHP w/ HSA, and have nurse consult tomorrow discuss financials among other things. Still in open enrollment, which is great timing. Thanks all. Staying hopeful.

Can the hybrid model actually work?

People have gotten so used to just backing meetings up into each other. You logout of one and immediately jump in to another. I remember days full of meetings before but not at this volume.
