Moving overseas?
While I still have 2 remaining interviews, in all likelihood, I will sign on with a particular employer in February, and begin work in May. While a number of domestic assignments are available, I also have the opportunity to take a job in Nanjing, China, working on the construction of four new Nuclear plants.
Naturally, there are a number of pros on my list in the matter: once in a lifetime opportunity for most, experiencing a different culture for a year or two, and a very healthy salary among other reasons.
My major concern though, is just how easy is it to adapt to living outside the US, especially in Nanjing? I don't speak a drop of anything other than a smidgeon of Spanish, and worry about everything from health care, to housing, to daily travel, to internet access, to technical communication with the workers I'll be overseeing.
Any outlook or advice from TFP movers, or even travelers, would be greatly appreciated. As a side note, I'm single with no children, so accommodating others is not an issue, this is a solo venture.
