Absolutely. I lived in China and Spain, and am about to move once again. Those experiences have given me perspective on the world and on myself, gave me self-confidence when I was able to succeed in a foreign environment against international competition, built my character and drive. It ultimately gives me a non-negligible advantage over my peers when it comes to job-hunting. It does have downsides because leaving Family & Friends is tough at times, homesickness, etc.
My personal 2 cents is, think about your motivations. Don't do that just because of a calculation.
- jacquesm 8y ago> Don't do that just because of a calculation. I'd say that doing it is more important than what your motivation is. Your motivation will last for a very short while once you are confronted with the reality of life abroad, you will need to be able to adapt and find your groove even absent whatever your motivation was or you'll be back in your home country before the week is out.
