Have to try and see if they will relocate you. Choose somewhere nice like HK, London, Singapore etc.

No relocation - we are all separate entities. They might let other locations know you are looking but there's no guarantee because it's not up to the US firm.

I know a few people who didn't. They asked US partners to connect them to partner entities in other countries then came back on an L1 or found better opportunities in other places.

I've been transferred in a global mobility assignment to a commonwealth country. Basically all the successful cases I've seen so far are due to a US partner knowing someone in the target country and putting in a good word. The global mobility policies and systems are there, but chances of getting transferred without a partner connections are close to zero.

My advice is: careful what you wish for. A lot of what you read/hear about some countries is just propaganda. PwC firms globally (out of the US) don't pay very well, and given market size, you're likely going to be staffed in much shittier projects with tighter budgets and supervised by people with little to none subject matter expertise.

like

I think EY will do a best-faith effort to connect you with partners in other countries, and from a colleague who's done it, she made it sound as if it was really easy and effortless. Bear in mind she had been at the firm for 3 years and performing well as a staff. However, i didn't go through this myself so I don't know what the formal policies are.

I racked up about $20k in credit card debt due to a confluence of things happening at once (move, school expenses , etc ). I have a fair amount of paper assets but not a much free cash. Assets are down a decent amount with the current market cycle and I’d prefer not to sell them to cover the debt , although they easily could. Any suggestions how to handle the credit card debt without racking up tons of ongoing card interest?

Hello, I was wondering if Amazon is providing TN visa? I recently applied to the Quality assurance engineer role and wanted to know if they are sponsoring. Thank you!

My wife and I are moving to Boston from overseas (we’re from Italy and we’ve recently won the diversity visa green card lottery).

We are looking to rent a 1BR starting in January, ideally for ~$3k/month. I’ll be working in the downtown area.

Do you recommend we go for a serviced/luxury apartment (e.g. Montaje, 345 Harrison, etc.) or hire a broker to get a “normal” apartment?

Any managed buildings recommendations within our budget? Also, what are some good brokers we could work with?

Thanks!
