What's the best way to find opportunities abroad? LinkedIn or via recruiters? Are there other job sites to consider, specifically for advertising?

Contact the recruiters who operate in the markets where you want to work. Ask them to intro you to people in agencies where you want to move to. Then consider planning a trip to meet people in person. Obviously once it’s safe to travel again.

I’ve worked in three different countries and that’s how I’ve done it. LinkedIn and websites are too passive IMO.

All the above and WorkingNotWorking is also a good way to find job posts and network.

If you decide to move down a level in your next role, for learning purposes and for more wlb, is that frowned upon by future employers and looks bad on your resume? I've been think about it but haven't pulled the trigger. Also fear that getting a lower level job will be tough if they see me as 'over-qualified'. For context, this would be going from a director role to a SM or Manager role.

One of my frustrations with myself (writing it out here so I can work on it) is that I will print out something that I need, such as a traffic collision report.

I’ve found that I can actually focus when I truly force myself, but often this happens after I’ve discovered an error or an important piece of information that I should have noticed earlier.
