[FRIAM] Want to leave the U.S.?

[Marcus Daniels]

Oh, I interviewed at a company in Australia once. Sounded terrific and thought I was on the fast track with immigration as you say. But then they dropped several U.S. candidates, and me, when they learned of salary expectations. 

Reminds me of working for DOE and the crazy overhead. “You can do whatever you want, but because of lab overhead, you have exactly one funding source, and that’s us.”

I moved to New Zealand in 2015 and then Australia in 2016 so happy to provide the rosetta stone for those two countries. Spoiler - almost everyone I've ever encountered on this list would be on the "immediate skills shortage list" which accelerates immigration for both countries. 

Lots of upside, like $1USD = $1.51AUD, socialised medicine, mandatory employer backed saving for retirement, plenty of space (size of continental USA with a population of 25M). Downsides such as island continent. If it isn't made or grown here it is expensivo. Plus, 14 hours by air if you leave family behind in the USA. 



Regards, 



Joe

If you think about leaving a future Trumpistan then the following article might be interesting. Forbes lists countries welcoming Americans with open arms: Spain, Italy, France, and Canada are among them

I believe Australia, Ireland and New Zealand are also good choices simply because of the language.
