Anyone try moving overseas as their exit? I’m tempted to blow up the whole career path and take a contract role abroad. If you’ve done it, did it help your career or just delay the inevitable?

I've done a secondment overseas (Australia) and have looked into working overseas. The work visa is the complex part, unless you already have work authorization. I don't think any company will sponsor you for a visa for contract work. Some countries have digital nomad visas but I haven't yet found a way to work internationally for a US-based company for contract work. The secondment has been helping my career.
