Cant disclose the country but dual citizen here so no issues with visa.

Why wouldn’t you be able to? You’re a US citizen. A lot of places really value international experience. GO FOR IT!!!

Do it

I certainly hope so. I did this and am still in Europe. Planning to return to US 2021.

Easily

Of course! Flipping the question. Why wouldn't you be able to? HR for companies in the US are always looking for US citizens. Enjoy! Super jelly, lol.

Huh, in contrast to everyone else in this conversation, I'm finding it next to impossible to co-ordinate a recruitment process while abroad. It has become clear that I need to quit the role here before finding the next thing back home.

Advice needed! I started at an ID firm only a few months ago after a long stint doing in-house litigation. I was referred to the firm by a very good friend who also still works there.

Ex-consultant now in marketing. Used to be an avid follower here and got great insights on companies when trying to exit consulting so thought I’d try here for advice. Outside of FAANG, what are good large CA-based tech companies that provide good pay, WLB, and culture? DD has great people and WLB, but pay is low and you’re not given the tools and resources to succeed + truly make an impact. Google and Apple are ideal but need backups. Like is Salesforce still good? A company along those lines.

Looking at exits into pharma and biotech. Have an opp at a biotech at the SM level. Total comp excluding equity is around $190k; RSUs vest over 4 years with annual refreshers, so first year equity would be around $6,200 and it would go up by $6,200 each of the next 3 years, plus whatever base bump I get. Very good benefits package.

They envision 2-3 years before I jump either to AD or right to D. Solid opp? Or hold out to go straight to director level?
