Would the chance to work abroad for a few months, or even a year change how you feel about a job offer? For me, it definitely adds an edge of excitement and possibility. Getting to experience a new culture and way of working feels like something that could really shape you. But I know it’s not for everyone. Would that make you more eager to say yes, or more hesitant?

I think it would be okay to say yes. Because more exposure to global clients and markets wouldn’t hurt. And even if you return that would still carry value as you have experience built in the current country.

Absolutely! That’s a great point. The global exposure would only add to your experience, and even coming back, you’d bring valuable insight from working in a different market.

More eager to say yes. I have no ties to where I'm living and would love to experience living abroad. Now more than ever, honestly.

That makes total sense. Living abroad can be such a meaningful experience, especially when you’re at a point where you’re open to something new.

I did it. I worked abroad for a couple of years and it was a lot of fun. But it was also quite a difficult transition and hard to be away from family. Now I have kids and I probably wouldn't be able to do it realistically. But it is an adventure!

That sounds amazing. It's such a great experience to have, even if it came with challenges. Definitely an adventure to look back on!

Those opportunities are few and far between. I'd think about it!

True. Chances like that don’t come around often. I've seen this kind of opportunities in big companies with a strong international presence.

Have you ever lived abroad before? It's not for everyone. If you are sure you'd enjoy it then I say go for it. If not, better to stay stateside.

I’ve interviewed for several positions AVP and VP roles since October of ‘21 internally with Citi. Didn’t take any of them because it would have been only $8k - $11k salary bumps.

No reason to stick around for low pay and not being compensated fairly by the company that expects “loyalty” from you.

Just found out that end of the year I will be promoted from analyst directly to VP and since it’s such a large jump I’ll be the lowest paid VP in asset management at only $135k TC. Should I stay it out and wait for TC to align or take the promotion and jump ship bc I will likely get paid more elsewhere given how recruiters/other companies eat up hiring recently promoted ppl from other firms?
