There’s no doubt about it; relocating for work can be incredibly daunting. It is, however, considered one of the best things you can do for your career. Whether you are on a short or long term assignment, relocating for work can help you to gain invaluable experience and become a well-rounded business professional.
So what exactly are the benefits of packing up your bags to progress your career?
Salary increase
Although your current wage might be quite high and satisfactory, you would be surprised at how many other countries around the world would be willing to offer you more for the same role. Earning a higher salary, of course, has many financial benefits, but it also helps increase job satisfaction and helps to provide a better quality of life for yourself (and your family).
Gain unexpected skills
Although academic skills are still essential for most roles, employers are always looking for candidates who stand out and have something different to offer. Working abroad will help you to gain skills you might otherwise not have achieved in your current role.
Expand your professional network
Building a professional network helps across every stage of your career, so you should actively seek to make professional contacts. Working abroad extends your network to people all over the world, which can be a valuable step to getting the next job, should you ever want to return home.
Develop your career
Job markets can be incredibly competitive, and there are often more opportunities to work abroad for professionals. When your assignment has finished, and you return home, the fact that you have worked elsewhere in the past can gain you an advantage when applying for new roles.
