Here are some of the comments we've received already...
"If you are an accountant and are presented with the chance to work anywhere overseas, why wouldn't you take it? It's a hard decision to leave your family and friends, but the opportunity outweighs the sacrifices."
Amy, moved from Florida, USA to Perth, Australia
"It’s the experience of a lifetime! You must do it at least once!"
Gabriel, moved from Nairobi, Kenya to London, UK
"If you have given any thought at all to moving overseas I would recommend you go for it. Although it can be a scary thought, once you are actually there you realise everyone else is in the same position and it is so easy to make friends. It is also a great chance to use your qualification to gain valuable experience from working in a different culture."
Joanne, moved from Fife, Scotland to Grand Cayman, Cayman Islands
"Go for it! It's highly enriching and it makes you realise that there is a lot more to life than money and career development, such as just living somewhere different, making new friends, enjoying a lifestyle and work/life balance that suits your as a person."
Julie, moved from London, UK to Christchurch, New Zealand
"STOP dreaming about it and just go do it. It’s really worthwhile and very rewarding from both a personal and professional perspective. If nothing else, you will have seen a different part of the world. BEWARE though, it could be very addictive!"
Ferdie, moved from Melbourne, Australia to San Francisco, USA
