I spent about 3 weeks in Portugal and loved everything about it; that would be my first choice. I also would love France, due to having extended relatives living there, but is significantly harder to immigrate to from what I've read.
I took some French classes a long time ago but recognize that I'll need to learn a new language anywhere I go (which is fine, since it is part of integrating into the new culture).
Either way, shaking the stereotype of an American will be a difficult part.
I'll keep looking to see what I can find and what options exist. Thanks again! I appreciate your insights!
Yeah that's what I was afraid of; the perception of the US (and US managers) is not great, which puts me at a disadvantage. There are a ton of very well-qualified people already in Europe, which really makes it very difficult to immigrate.
I was initially thinking that a startup might be the best bet, but it seems like very few of them provide sponsorships. The best bet is looking more like trying an internal transfer at my big-tech firm instead. Thanks for your insight!
