Relocating for a job sounded exciting until I realized how many small things about work culture are different. Meetings run differently, feedback is more direct, and sometimes I’m not sure if I’m interpreting things correctly. It makes normal workplace interactions feel more complicated. For people who moved countries for work, how did you get comfortable with the new workplace culture?

Im a third year and my current firm isn't bad and I'm pretty comfortable here. Im satisfied most of the time. There is one firm I've been keeping my eyes on because of its similarities to where I currently am (nice people, similar hours, culture).

Im a bit burned out now and I would love to take a long break. I'm hoping I can take a break (2 months) between the transition but is this a good reason to move though? Would you move in my situation? Im sure there will be a signing bonus.
