Has anyone here moved from the US? Would you say there were any major differences in the way work-life culture folds out? I am going to be in Ireland for 1.5 years to work on a project. I'm the only one from my team who will be here, so it's kinda scary to have to make connections from scratch and be the only one from a different environment. Trying to be prepared for the shift!

Hey, welcome to Ireland! I made the move from the US a while back and can confirm there are definitely some work-life culture differences. People here generally value time off a bit more and the pace can feel less rushed. Don’t be surprised if colleagues chat about weekend plans or suggest a coffee break. It might take a little while to make connections, but folks are friendly if you’re open to joining in, whether that’s grabbing lunch or heading to a work social event.

Get involved in a local sports club or activity of some sort in the best way to get to know people.
Ireland is a small country, everybody knows everybody and is incredibly friendly,
Ireland is also the gateway to Europe make sure you take full advantage of last minute cheap flights for a long weekend and go explore
