Yes. But it’s harder to get a job in Europe than you think.

Well UK-wise, there’s not enough jobs to go around right now and local Brits wouldn’t require visa expense etc…so…might be trickier than usual for US creatives.

I am not fleeing, but I have wanted to work abroad for a year or two to gain a different perspective and learn about other cultures. As an Art Director and as a person who loves to learn, I'm always looking to gain insight into other cultures to find those human insights and learn about others.

I'm from the States, and where I live, the oldest buildings are a little over 100 years old, and in other parts of the world, structures that are hundreds of years old, like imagine all the people that have been through them. There's this big world out there with all these wonderful people to meet, and I hope one day to explore it with my camera.

European salaries are peanuts - I worked in Paris for a few years and my bosses made less than me when I was at my previous job converted in dollars. There’s also way less opportunities in volume for advertising roles. even with all the freebies, exciting culture, etc I made the decision it was not worth it to stay and I came back. Sadly with all of America’s issues you have much better chance at a successful comfortable life here if you are good at what you do. If you want to live a middle income existence, rent a small apartment forever, but not much else - go for it. I love building things and working on my own house. In Europe that was a pipe dream with a nightmare commute. Can’t answer that for you there’s nothing wrong with that either. For me it was not.

My professional life at the moment is far from ideal. I’ve been on quarantine (long story, but a good one) for the last seven years. Royalties from my books don’t pay the bills. My entrepreneurial pursuits remain hampered. For the interim, I’ve been looking for a remote opportunity where I can leverage my skills in marketing, sales, social media, and elsewhere for a decent sum. I have a social media presence which, in recent years, reached millions. There has to be something exciting I can do.

How do I figure out spending with my SO? Initially I was paying for 90% of stuff (no actual bills, just going out). I talked to her and said we need to be more even. She was never proactive. She kind of got offended but we ended on a good note to split things. It went well for a couple weeks but now it's back to normal. She never takes out her card and only venmos me if I send her the request. She lets Venmos sit for weeks before paying them. I still let a lot of things slide.

What’s your take on a job listing that states “From $xx,xxx”

The particular job I’m looking at has this on the listing and I’m curious as to what their budget actually is. Do I assume a range?

They’re seeking someone with 5-8 years experience. I have the latter (8 almost 9)

How would I approach this when asked without pricing myself out of the position? Especially if they’re not willing to be upfront (assuming here) how much they’d want to offer me in particular.
