I haven't lived in quite that many different countries, but also find having been born in the US and emigrated to Europe that I find Europe to feel more "free".
In fact, I actually moved because I wanted to do unpaid programming work for my company to prove I was ready for a software engineering role. The US office said it would be illegal, but the European office said it would be legal there, so I got a transfer (and shortly after, the promotion I was after).
- madengr 9y agoThat sounds like indentured servitude. It’s been illegal in the USA for a long time. Sounds like you are being screwed.
- always_good 9y agoMeh, you do what you can. It's an opportunity that might have paid off and given them something they want in life. Not everything is as easy as HNers in SV make it seem.
- pasquinelli 9y agothere isn't the information required for it to sound like indentured servitude.
