Be careful what you ask for. It took me 15 years to finally have a domestic client. International travel sucks!

And come to think of it, it becomes less about luck as you distinguish yourself as a valuable resource. Pop-up, relatively short term projects come about and when you're talking high risk and high $, firms want their better / best resources on the jobs rather than the schmucks that are on the bench 6 months out of the year

Multilingual is not necessary, even though I am.. People I travel with often aren't..

Honestly? Don't want them. Man plans and the gods laugh.

Bad luck.

Try telling your management that you want to work on International projects. If you don't say it, they don't know.

I don't know who needs to hear this, but I have a few former classmates and colleagues sweating over lateral interviews. Take a deep breath and relax.

First, doing these interviews does not define you as a person.

Second, take it one day at a time; if they are moving forward, they see something in you.

Third, remember that the people interviewing you are human beings. Connect with them, be personable.

Don’t want to work without getting paid unless the experience is valuable. Would love any perspective on this.
