I don't even know if that sort of thing would be an option for me, as despite tons of current knowledge and 15+ yrs experience a degree is probably needed for green cards. Plus if I went I'd have to buy a gun becasue I could, then would likely shoot myself by accident.

Don't be. The only internal transfers people are getting at the moment are to places like India, Slovakia, Brazil, Russia, the Middle East, in fact any of the locations they're classing as growth markets. But (and here's the gotcha) the deals are one way transfers, paid on local salary bands. There's simply an over supply of expensive US and European workers now so much work is going global.

Worth knowing, just in case, etc etc. 'Will I be charged for storage?' 'No, because it was stolen' Don't ask me to explain, though. -- SteveH |
