Can anyone recommend a universal voltage curling iron that they have *successfully* used in a country outside the US? I bought the ghd one a few years back (which was not cheap) and it has failed to work each time I travel (including to Europe and Australia). TIA!

Thanks so much!

I used my ghd dryer with the convertor. I'm still using it. Try that.

Thank you!

Anything with air needs to be explicitly dual voltage w some kind of converter. Straighteners are global for example. I am in the US and still use my 10 year old UK GHDs

Got it - thank you! So the hair tool needs to be labeled “dual voltage,” not “universal voltage”?

And other hair tools as well! Hair dryers and straighteners

Can someone let me know the future prospects for a solution architect in Adobe . My main concern is that I would be limited to a adobe product suite. I currently have an offer from Adobe and a big Telecom company. In Adobe it is a pure solution architect role whereas in the other company the role is more like a technical architect, the CTC being offered is nearly same. I would give preference to Adobe but I am concerned about my career progression when and if I have to leave Adobe in future.
