[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I work for a Japanese company, and only a very select few ever get asked to work in Japan for any amount of time. In our company, it is considered a big honor.

Now, in a Chinese company, you will end up with a big advantage over other employees because of the networking there. Same thing in Taiwan.

If the company is Korean, forget it. Those guys work you to death, especially if you are a non-Korean, and you'll never get ahead.[/quote]

We lived in Japan for a year. I didn't want to go but he basically threatened that he would divorce me, so I pretended to go for it.  After a year I came home and filed divorce.  He's still over there, had to travel a lot and today single and unhappy. I remarried,  had another child and am happy.  Can't put a price on that. Glad I left just before the Hanshin earthquake. Our house over looked Awji island - epicenter.  I laugh when i hear all this nonsense because once you have children you've made that choice to stay as a family unit.  We never agreed to move to a foreign country before we married.

You're idea of getting ahead is skewed imo.[/quote]
