I don't doubt it, I'm just curious as to why you, or any other HNers, would find it interesting. What skills do you think would be applicable or transferable? full disclosure: I'm in a somewhat similar situation right now

So the author moved to India after being unable to find a job, but at some point, I assume they plan to return. What do you think about his job prospects when he returns (regardless of the work; just taking into account that he opted to spe
