- seattle_spring 5y agoMy thoughts exactly. I had a similar opportunity about 10 years back and I turned it down. I still think about what my life would have been like had I chosen otherwise.
- lpapez 5y agoThe perspective depends heavily on your position in life. E.g. I can't imagine many parents taking up on such an offer.
- gumby 5y agowhy not? It sounds great to me. The only “bad” case I know of is my cousin who moved to Finland from Australia: her teen struggled because high school was impossible to follow. The younger kid didn’t care as much, and otherwise they all had a great time. I feel like I know plenty of families who have done this.
- brtkdotse 5y agoWorking with a team offset by 12 hours? No thank you!
- gumby 5y agoWhat if you don’t have to overlap for the full day? Our team is all over the world and people are used to having real-time overlap with some people only for a couple of hours. I have to be able to talk to everyone so my schedule is crazy (but is a schedule, so I’m not up at 2 AM every morning, and do get enough sleep). But I’m the only one.
