[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Depends on the country and the school. I’ve taught overseas before and still have friends in the circuit. Share the school names and I’ll let you know the 411. The best schools get a ton of applicants so if these schools are knocking on your door, I doubt they are any good. [/quote]

Yeah this is a good point. The best schools definitely don’t reach out themselves for interviews. You need to look very carefully at the package and check with others that are already there about cost of living and potentials for savings. Start with Reddit. Also check carefully about being able to work remotely. A lot of jobs just say no automatically if it’s not on US soil. Currently at a Tier 1 intl school as a trailing spouse but they laughed in my face when I first applied because they only hire their own. (Got desperate and finally hired me).[/quote]

+2. I've known people in jobs like these that sound great, but are terrible. You need to hear from people in these positions or at least familiar with the specific area to get a better idea of what life would be like if you move.[/quote]
