How much you can "Be Yourself" of course varies greatly between cultures.
- Russians will see through unauthentic smiles with disdain.
- Brazilians don't do well with blank expressions or disagreement.
- The dutch on the other hand expect you to express your disagreements with no sugar coating - and might be disappointed if you hide your opinion.
I'm not very compatible with my own culture, and I expect to reap greater professional benefits by immigrating.
- bpchaps 10y agoBeen thinking about doing the same for the same reasons and moving out to Switzerland or Germany. Have you already started the process? I'm curious how others have done it and what their thoughts are during/before/after the expat plunge.
- rmellow 10y agoJob market in my country is terrible, so I have little to lose. Going to Canada for a Masters, after which I have a substantial salary expectation in the CA/US market, but not back home.
