Asked my boss jokingly and nonchalantly if they would relocate me. I didn’t expect an easy yes and full support. Then I asked my boss’ boss, and he said yes too. 2 years later, I uprooted my whole life and moved across the world to a new country with my wife. Biggest life changing event I’ve had so far.
I moved from Sweden to France and that started out with a girl friend asking me out of the blue if I wanted to do a (studying) year in France? Sure why not?
That sounds very familiar. Made a comment to my department leader back then that we should have someone to keep an eye on the quality of our partners in Asia. About 2 months later all my belongings where in a suitcase and I was on the plane with a one way ticket. That was nearly 10 years ago. In hindsight the most important decision in my life (so far).
