Anyone hiring for a paid acquisition marketer? 👀
AWS cloud application architect. Had an on-site interview with AWS a few days ago and just got an email saying they want to talk to me about next steps. The role is cloud application architect but I want to ask them about the senior cloud application architect role. I have all the relevant experience for that role and feel like I’d be a better fit for that senior role. How should I approach this conversation? Is this even possible? Amazon

Sure, I always entertain the notion. If I had more of a financial cushion I'd give it a try. If I could work remotely from the west of Ireland, I'd be gone tomorrow. The next few years in particular seem like a good time to be admiring the scenery somewhere else.
30 liberals liking your comment. Sweet! I’m with you if I had a cushion but for travel more then who the president is. MAGA!
I’m currently planning my exit. I want to go to a (unnamed to avoid context clues) country as a student, take the language for a year, then continue my college degree. I’ve applied to 2 schools this week, once I get my enrollment letter I can get my student visa, begin selling stuff, finding housing, and then coordinate moving my family there (who are STOKED). The thing is about this (or any such] plan is that it will be expensive, fraught with uncertainty, and I’m anxious about how much stuff I’ll simply need to throw out. It’s scary.
BUT
This AI stuff is a bubble that’s already bursting and I’ve been laid off before, I know some of the signs and it’s begun

There’s the ongoing jen o side that most tech companies support
and my parents just passed last year as a result of our horrendous medical industry. Between that and my own disabilities that will eventually kill me, I’m done, time to go.

I too feel the urge to dip before the Dictating Cheetoh forms his big bucks club and dusts the nation.
Have your opinions, they matter little to me.

Left for Canada in 2020 after seeing the sorry reality of H1B visas. Now in a good paying job with a G7 passport and access to the world. Won’t return down south.
Lol sorry for your loss. Canada is lame
Abso-frickin’-lutely.
No. I have lived in five European countries and worked without fully living in a couple more. Pay is low, taxes are super high (and I pay California taxes now! Still lower). Long lunch breaks and more coffee breaks, but that makes your work day longer. The thought that they work shorter days than in the US is a myth, except in a handful of places. The only place I would consider is Switzerland, out of the ones I am more familiar with.
Unsure why you ask but:
If it is about the job market, it is not much better there. Also just consider that there are less tech companies. Of course there is working on the tech side of other industries. It is not necessarily a bad thing though. That is what most tech folks do. The idea of studying computer science and working in a purely tech company or in big tech is pretty much a US thing.
If it is about politics, well, wait and see what happens seeing the far right parties that are rising fast. I have lived in different conditions, under very progressive admistrations, too. Those were not good. They proposed laws forcing you to rent an apartment you don't live in at a very low rate (like 40-50% below market rate), if you don't rent an empty property, pay steep penalities, yearly, or risk expropriation (yeah, in western Europe). Luckily they didn't pass (yet). That is just an example of many.
In most jurisdictions is not legal to do what I do outside the country as there may be secrecy laws, and data privacy and residency requirements. Also clients are extremely zealous and their data. That is why I worked in several different countries. You have to 'be' there and the data cannot travel outside. No public cloud use either unless the regions used are domestic and secured.
With the fully remote work disappearing the idea of working for a US company from elsewhere is far fetched. It is hard enough to find remote work in the same state you live in.
Finally, and I used to say this when people said during the pandemic "you can move elsewhere and work remotely". Well... I don't want to be anywhere else. I turned 40, quit my job and purposely moved to a place I loved. I wouldn't go work remotely for a US company and live elsewhere. I am where I want to be (coastal southern California) even though I would be wealthy making the same money living in a cheap place. I have done that. Not worth it unless it is really where you want to be
I left Jan 1st and loving it! Definitely NOT coming back while the new moron in Chief is still in office
Please stay gone.
If you’re contemplating it, you should probably just go

For retirement, it is the best strategy. As long as you stack a couple hundred thousand, there will always be a good destination to out there. And you won't have to work. There are English speaking pockets in quite a few countries already.
So many people moved to Mexico that Americans were getting deported back. Look it up in the news.
The cartels have spread to previously ignored cities and towns in Mexico. My fathers co-worker lost a son recently in Mexico. Killed by the cartels heading to a normally safe location. My wife is also from Mexico and we live close to the border. We never go.
Answering from Ontario, Canada. Ah, yeah.
You should immediately
Stop being a drain on the us
Some people want it to succeed
Had a friend delete his socials, grab his passport, and start for Canada just this morning.
You're not alone.
Yeah right, the place where everyone is suffering from unaffordable gas, groceries and house prices and a clear immigration problem
I was thinking about it…but then Trump won…😎…🇺🇸
Yes I have a plan as soon as get the chess pieces lined
Yes. Definitely it's in the plans. But waiting for a few things to fall in place before leaving.
I'm not going on holiday there for a bit.
Do it! People contemplating it and don't follow through, are full of it and just keep on whining anyway
You guys are kidding , right
