Any perspectives on transitioning from the luxury industry (Paris, France) to the tech industry (Bay Area)? I'm wondering if anyone went through this and what their advice is.

I transitioned from US retail brands on the East Coast to tech in the Bay Area. Not what you are aiming to do, but there might be some parallels. Basically it’s a night and day switch, everything is different. In some ways better, in some ways worse. Why not switch to a tech company in Paris to see how it is and then try to transfer within that company to the US?
