    Hi all,

    I'm a former expatriate from Ireland (lived there for 7 years) and what I've found there is somewhat different that what I've read in all the replies to this post:

    First, a thousand experiences shared isn't making any change on what your experience will be: experience are an individual thing and the longer you'll remain in a place better are the chance you'll have more and more troubles added.

    Second, if you don't like the country you're in or don't feel comfortable about going to another country for lots of reasons, then you should ask yourself these simple questions:

    1- Why do I want to work in this country?
    2- Why do I want to live in this country?
    3- Will it worth the cost?
    4- What will it bring to me on the human side?
    5- What will it bring to me on the financial side?
    6- Who will support me while I'll be there?

    If you don't like a country or have some fears about it, then don't go there: this fear will not bring you anything good neither to the native people who will reject you. There are 196 countries in this world, lots at war and at the moment few good for job purpose due to the man made financially orchestrated depression: we are all at war as the economy can be seen as a war of attrition. The best place to be is in your country or elsewhere with people you love doing something you like (which may be very low paid: being happy at work is completely separated from the money you'll make at).

    Third, expatriates are by definition people who have left their country for reasons: whether they didn't like their country for lots of reasons, valid one (for example your country is a bureaucracy, a tax hell, a police state, corrupted to the core, madness selection for getting a job even a low paid one, family problems, ...) or they wanted to enjoy an experience outside their borders, the fact it expatriation will change your life forever.

    Why?

    Because it'll bring a different perspective on your own culture so it can be disturbing to go back to your own country after as you'll dislike many things there as you'll know it's possible to get something far more efficient and faster in the countries you've visited.

    Because the experience maybe so enriching that at the end, you'll have a complete different perspective that your average countryman on both the world and your own country: for example, if you expatriate there is a good chance you'll work for a very big company like a multinational. There you'll have a very dominant perspective on the economy and if you've good eyes and a brain working thus are clever, synthetic and observant you'll understand their importance and influence on your country: you'll have a different perspective about the politics mistakes of your own country, the drawback of your culture in business, your culture backwardness, ...

    You'll understand that they the multinationals and their stock holders are ruling the whole economy so your life: just open your food cupboard and look at the labels, who make the food? Where are the components coming from? Do the same for your medicines, your car(s), your motorway, ... You'll also understand that politicians are just a part of the show business and work for themselves and their employers in big multinationals (those who pay the campaign) not for people.

    This perspective will make you understand from a complete different angle reality and it'll be disturbing: it's a completely different story that the fairy tale told to you by mainstream media. Yes, people will take you for a fool and you'll have hard time if you come back to your country because your vision and brain will have change whereas those of your loved ones will not and you'll have to explain them and convince them of turning off their TV, burn the newspaper, shut off the radio, ... and listen to you because you know first hand what you are talking about.

    I talk about a French perspective as I found out during my expatriation that:

    -France is an empire and work on the back of slaves exploiting their oil and resources, the US and UK do the same

    -French oligarchs are ruling the country: the same occurs in every country which means a few have all the powers in hands

    -Racism is a tool used by politicians for keeping us all divided: they politicians are hired by multinationals for diverting you from seeing who rules the whole economy that is the very wealthy or oligarchs. With lots of foreigners entering any country, the job market become more competitive for them as wages go south and skills go north. So who benefits from this? Not you and me, but the banks behind those gigantic companies.

    -History in schools have been a fairy tale: whereas it's Spain, France, Germany, USA, UK, Japan, Russia, Italy, ... all big countries in term of economy have a past made of imperial conquests thus of murders, exploitations, slavery and a small amount of important families have run the show but the rest of your and my countries have let them do so we are all involved in the present mess.

    -Food is used to control people, water and medicines too: I would advise you all to invest money to get organic food thus to get rid of pesticides and to get filtered water at the tap with reverse osmosis (water around you contain pesticides sprayed out by the food industry that is the henchman of chemistry industry), medicines are drugs and 60% of them go to the toilet thus pollute your tap water.

    Once at home, I've found that:

    -local employers don't care about my experience during interviews (I didn't tell them what I've just told you, and during my expatriation I've gathered a lot of skills): they know they are late timers and they don't care
    -finding jobs isn't helped at all by my experience as what they want is zombies with degrees and being obedient staying for years at boring and useless jobs

    So be careful before expatriating as it'll make you free but if you come back you'll start again from ground zero from a work perspective, of course you'll have a very different perspective on the world surrounding you.
