For those who have relocated internationally after starting in corporate America, I’m curious to hear about your experience.

What were the biggest hurdles? Culture shocks?
What would you have done differently?

Always wanted to work in another country so just wanting to hear about others’ experiences.

Really? I’ve always thought Hong Kong had the most opportunities for financial gain

I'm an American who started my corporate career there, then took a job in Southeast Asia for a couple years and now Africa. From my experience, most people take a pay cut when leaving the US. There are certainly opportunities where you don't have to, but I think those may be fewer in sales than in technical roles. Happy to answer any pointed questions; feel free to DM me if you'd like.
