The greatest issue I have when working, or even just talking with people in different places is not technological, but timezones. I don't want to be catching up with my family in Europe at my 3am in the morning. Or working a hard probl

I moved (internationally) to the bay area. In my specific circumstances I would not say that it was financially clearly a good thing to do, due to the MUCH higher costs of living. However as a place to live it is quite nice. Technology is e
