25 years ago I was given a similar possibility. Building a large team from scratch in an emerging country. There was a huge difference though : the company was international, had plenty of money to burn and I could fail without consequences (as I see it now). And boy, I failed. A few times. The experience was extraordinary and it forged my future. I am today in a position I would not be in if not these years and other similar opportunities all over the world. Let me please emphasize two thingd: - I was allowed to fail (it was somehow expected) - and I failed. You have no experience in management, and especially not in international management. Therefore you will fail. And learn a LOT. If you are going there to learn AND fail - do it. It will be an invaluable experience. If you plan to succeeded, or at least may be impacted by failing, do not go. Get dome eaqier experience first. Having important work to deliver + problematic team + other culture + inexperienced leader = disaster. Yhis means either clueless company or a need for a burnout manager to sacrifice.
