Would moving to another country for corporate finance be a bad idea? What countries might be best or perhaps easiest?

Not necessarily. You just have to find the right country to move to. And I say move anywhere in Luxembourg, Switzerland, or Germany. These three countries have the best reputation in banking, finance, and finance professionals. If you're considering Germany, the city of Frankfurt is your best bet.

Not necessarily a bad idea. However, you have to start from scratch again. Which country are you planning to move in to?

Hello! It depends on what country you're moving into. I would say that European countries have more opportunities for corporate finance.

What made you think it is a bad idea? That's case to case basis and of course depends on what country you are transferring to.

That doesn't sound like a bad idea at all. My son's friend's brother moved to England and is in finance, I just can't remember who he works for.

I think England could be pretty interesting, or maybe Dublin if you're interested in tech on the EU side? I think corporate finance in other countries in the EU would not be that great. Would also recommend Hong Kong or Japan but I think the WLB is not always that great

It really depends on the location, role and company. If the company will shoulder the relocation expenses then good. I'd say NYC is a good place.

I don't think its a bad idea necessarily. I would probably try to get a job before moving there though so you are secure when you leave. But there are definitely some good roles out there.
