Grew up in India. Moved to the US in Minnesota when I was 18 for undergrad. After undergrad, moved to London. Spent 3 years there. Moved to Chicago for my MBA (Kellogg). Worked one year in Chicago. Now I’m in toronto. I’m an Indian by birth and name but I’m a man of the world by moral and intellect. No drawbacks other than the friends you miss - it’s incredibly easy for me to gel into my surroundings

 
  • 22 years old, wanted to work abroad after studying abroad
  • USA -> East Asia
  • Beginner level
  • Networking
  • Drawbacks: made steep learning curve even steeper with language barrier at first, harder to transition home later on in general, most people don't value the experience as much as I do
  • Benefits: language, culture, broadening horizons; would not do anything different if I had a time machine
