Oooo one I can answer! I moved from Seattle -> Hong Kong, circa 2012, with a contracting job to an old team in Seattle. About 6-7 months in HK, the team said no more contractors or remote members, and I was effectively out of a job. The original goal of moving to HK was to learn Cantonese (mother tongue) so I said maybe I should actually do my goal and started taking classes. That didn't work out so well. While I learned Cantonese, it's not at any useful left (can't even speak to 5 year olds for any meaningful length). I did get married instead! So it worked out. If you're young with little responsibilities, I say do it. "They" always say it's harder to do it while you're older. For me and everyone I know, this is 100% true. While always possible, a lot more care and planning needs to happen even with a significant other.
