Mexico has the advantage of beaches and a few hour plane ride from the States to visit your loved ones. And better weather and an easier language.
Poland is certainly a great place as well. As I get older though it's nice being a 2 hour plane ride from my aging parents in Texas.
- nkkollaw 9y agoIf we're talking about North America, sure--if there are a lot of devs and not a lot of crime (no idea).
- Kpourdeilami 9y agoAnother very good option in North America is the Kitchener-Waterloo region in Ontario. Pros: - Significantly lower rent (~640 USD/mo for a one bedroom apartment in one of the safest neighbourhoods of Waterloo) - Low crime rate and very safe - Access to talent that has experience working for SV companies (facebook, google, amazon, apple, etc.) - Active 24/7. Even at 4am in the morning, there are students walking home from the library. - You don't have to learn a new language Cons: - Bad weather - An hour drive to the international airport in Toronto - Nothing else to do in the city other than working - Public transit only runs until midnight
- nkkollaw 9y agoI'd pick that over Mexico any day.
- tytytytytytytyt 9y agoMexico also has a bonus 'do not travel' advisory in 5 states, for those seeking that extra bit of excitement.
- cpursley 9y agoWhat part of Mexico are you based out of? What download speeds are you seeing?
- culturestate 9y agoIf I were looking somewhere in the Americas I'd probably choose Chile for some of the same reasons you mentioned. Santiago is a great town, relatively safe, and Chile has probably the most stable government in Central / South America. It doesn't fit the short flight criteria, but it's better than going Oslo to Dallas.
