Tackling the main questions asked about working abroad, this book sets out the employment options; explains the US tax and welfare implications; advises on children's education and home letting; discusses the problems of culture shock; and examines the potential pitfalls in accepting an overseas contract. The second part of the book contains surveys of the 36 most popular destination countries across six continents, giving details of local economies, tax systems, education, and living and working conditions, all drawn from first-hand accounts. A standardized layout throughout enables the reader to make swift comparisons.
