What’s the best way to get a job in another country? Currently in a big city in the US and in the next year when I make the jump to mid level was thinking of moving to a new country. Some cities I was thinking about were Toronto, London, Amsterdam, or Dublin. Should I make the pivot through my big daddy holdco? How should I reach out to agencies for employment, especially when they’d have to sponsor my visa?

This isn’t true. I applied for a job internally via my holdco, interviewed, got it, they paid for my visa and gave me a relocation budget and 6months later I was gone. I was a mid level with not many awards to my name.

It’s impossible unless you’re at a CD level or above (plus having an award loaded portfolio)

We have a jobs board for movement within the network, so I guess you could say it’s encouraged to an extent. I was quite open about wanting to work elsewhere so notified my bosses and our HR before even applying for the role. So everyone was aware and onboard with it. Then once it was confirmed I’d been selected, the two HR teams worked together to make it happen.

It’s certainly possible. But of course it will be easier in some circumstances than it is in others. Definitely worth pursuing regardless if it’s something you want to do, even if the answer ends up being no.

Hold co only transfer CD+ ppl to other countries, if not higher up. Best you can do is to get your own work visa and then start applying. For UK check out global talent visa for example.

If you have high profile work (work with some mid level celebrities) but no awards, can you still work abroad? Has anyone in this situation been successful?

Under no circumstances disclose how much you make or what you want to make.

Tell the recruiter,” I need to interview to learn more about the specific details of this opportunity before I’ll know how much I need to accept a potential offer…”

I discuss & other do’s and dont’s on IG.

My browser history is failing me and hope y’all can help!
