Oh, I interviewed at a company in Australia once. Sounded terrific and thought
I was on the fast track with immigration as you say. But then they dropped
several U.S. candidates, and me, when they learned of salary expectations.
Reminds me of working for DOE and the crazy overhead. “You can do
When we moved to the Bay Area, expenses did go up compared to Santa Fe.
However, our combined and individual incomes both went up more. Whatever

My ship has already sailed, so to speak. Moved to Ecuador 16 years
