Landing IT Work Overseas
snydeq writes "US IT workers could find considerable payoff and invaluable experience by taking their IT skills overseas, InfoWorld reports, as foreign, US, and global firms have increased the demand for a wide range of tech talent across the globe, offering positions that clearly move beyond the scut work of heads-down programming. Business fluency, industry-specific skills, and knowledge of American markets is fast becoming an invaluable asset foreign firms will pay a premium for, according to the report, which offers insights into finding IT work in a range of cities and regions abroad."
If I wanted to be in a third world economy, shouldn't I stay at home??

The best part about overseas work is the ass. Girls don't wax/shave/trim, so it's like richard stallman in her pants. If that doesn't turn you on, I don't know what will!
Do you even lift?
These aren't the 'roids you're looking for.
You are forgetting Brazil (God I love Brazil). There is a reason they call it a Brazilian wax
Yeah, because overseas we're not scared of a woman who looks like a real woman
Only you guys need your females to look like an 8 year old girl...
Other things we prefer are flesh to silicone. Seems the only real tits left in the US are running the country...
And we're also quite attached to our foreskins as a natural part of our body rather than finding the need to slice them off and turn them into a small novelty bag for holding loose change ;-)
Or to be exact, any idiot who expects other people to speak their language is not going to be appreciated. If you are Spanish and use English to speak to Dutch guys in Amsterdam you are fine. But if you are American and expect them to speak in English, not so fine.
Ooops! Bad example. The Dutch love you speaking English to them as they like to show how well they speak it in return. In fact, if you do try and speak Dutch they will usually reply in English anyway! It's really hard to learn to speak Dutch in Holland...
The Germans will tell you they only speak a little English and then proceed to have an intricate discussions about politics, climate change, whatever else they chose as fluently as a native speaker.
The French will grudgingly speak English but only to allow you to understand their insults ;-)
The Spanish will try to speak English, but at such a speed that it might as well be Spanish.
The Swiss won't speak to anyone not carrying a suitcase of money no matter what language you speak to them.
Italians won't listen to you - they just interpret your body movements.
Japanese will say yes if you ask them if they speak English, but they will say yes if you ask what day of the week it is or if you can sleep with their wife or what colour is the sky...
Most of the English don't speak a recognisable form of the language.
Presumably, then, American girls are like Steve Ballmer in their pants?

Bald as an egg, crazy, drunk, shouting, and sweaty?
Sounds about right.
You have what some people call... skills.
