Nothing is stopping you from freelancing for American agencies from abroad until you can get something, working east coast hours in Europe is very nice.
Haven’t really thought about doing freelance remotely since there’d be a huge time difference - ex. 12-hour difference in NYC.
What kind of challenges? I had many in the beginning as an American in Europe but honestly it was mostly getting acclimated to the culture - work is work and the only thing familiar to me 😂
Maybe about being a foreigner, dealing with language barrier perhaps (tho I’m manifesting for Singapore which is an English-speaking country), office dynamics, etc. Just something personal experience if any?
Learning their culture would be one thing I hope to be familiar with. You’re right I guess the work just stays the same 😂
What challenges? As an European in Asia I’m still struggling with the local language. Besides that I love working and living abroad.
Where are you from and what country are you moving to?
Philippines moving to Singapore/Australia. I’ve heard stories of racism and xenophobia in both countries though not in our industry. A bit anxious of how I would treated considering I’d be an outsider but am positive of our industry’s diverse culture - at least in those countries I mentioned.
