You need to learn to vet the advice you get online. If it were just as easy as finding a job in Europe, everyone would have left already. You can’t get hired as an American in Europe without visa sponsorship. Intracompany transfers are a shortcut for multinational companies sponsoring their own employees. Brand new hires would require rigorous work sponsorship requirements, relocation packages, and long delays before any work is actually being done. You can see why getting hired by a European company is a unicorn opportunity. The only possible way you could go about doing this is using the shortage lists as a guide for roles you are targeting. Shortage lists are roles the government is fast tracking work sponsorship visas for because they are in serious need of more talent in that area. 🆘🇺🇸 #creatorsearchinsights

I want to talk to you about some really bad advice I've been seeing on TikTok about moving to Europe. This is kind of one of those, tell me you don't know anything about moving internationally without telling me you don't know anything about moving internationally, kind of situations. I've seen people advise that a way that you can move to Europe is to get a job and their best advice was to find American companies that exist in Europe in order to get hired. I want to tell you what an intra company transfer is. All the European countries have the same rules about hiring people from outside of the EU, right? When you have a job that needs to be filled in Europe, whether it's an American company that exists in Europe or it's a local company, they have to prove that nobody within that country can do the job. And then they have to prove that nobody within Europe can do the job and only then can they hire somebody from outside of the EU, including the United States. The first person I heard give this advice is a move abroad coach and she was advising people to just find American companies because they want to hire American workers who know about America. But they have the intra company transfer rule because they know that people want to do this. And that rule says that in order to be from an American company and move from say your home office in Chicago to the European location, you have to work for that company for one entire year. You can't just be hired as an American and brought over immediately to the office in Paris without already having worked for that company for an entire year. Unless they're fulfilling the obligations of proving that you're better than anyone in the country and proving that you're better than anyone in the EU to fill this role. So those tend to be extremely specialized positions that are able to prove that level of need to hire outside of the EU. If you don't know me yet, I'm Veronica. And five years ago, I moved out of the United States. We lived on three different continents using our remote income and our passive income. Now I help Americans figure out how to use remote income, passive income and retirement income to move all over the world. I see bad advice on this app every single day. It comes from the supposed experts and it comes from well-meaning people who are just trying to give advice because they've been able to move abroad and they don't realize the specifics of their case and why it won't work for most people. So keep in mind that just because you hear advice on this app does not mean it's legal, does not mean it's possible. Having the right people in your corner who have actually done this and helped people do this is extremely important. Getting a job to move to Europe is the hardest path that you could possibly try. Instead, you should be looking at how can I use remote income, passive income or retirement income to move abroad instead.

If picking a new country was as easy as comparing crime statistics and educational outcomes, than obviously that country would be overrun with expats. The best countries to move to are not one size fits all. Before you get your hopes up about any particular country, I suggest you take a step back. Determine your visa eligibility first. Some countries are trying to attract retirees. Other countries are welcoming digital nomads. And there are countries only looking for wealthy expats. Your income type and amount will determine what countries will take you. Schedule your exit plan call if you’re ready to stop daydreaming and start packing. #creatorsearchinsights

There are a lot of people who love the idea of moving abroad. There are fewer people who are actually ready to make it happen. If you have been stuck researching how to move abroad from the US, how to leave America, where to live overseas, or how to move abroad with kids, but you still do not have a plan, this page is for you. A lot of smart people get trapped in analysis paralysis. They keep consuming more content because it feels productive. But more information does not always create movement. Sometimes it just creates more confusion. You do not need fifty more tabs open. You need the right order of steps. You need a strategy that fits your life. You need someone who understands how to move from vague dream to actual plan. I help Americans who are tired of researching moving abroad and ready to start taking action. Follow if you want practical guidance, realistic next steps, and a clear path toward living abroad. 🆘🇺🇸
The life you've built in America isn't the life you wanted. It's the life you could scrape together under constraints of: wages that don't cover basics, healthcare tied to employment, housing costs consuming half your income, constant financial stress, survival mode as default state. You didn't choose misery. You chose best option available within impossible constraints. But those constraints are geographic. Change geography, change constraints, change what's possible. The apartment you can barely afford in America becomes the nice place with breathing room abroad. The paycheck that barely covers survival in America becomes the income that allows saving abroad. The constant stress about one emergency destroying you financially becomes manageable situation where emergencies are expensive but not catastrophic. Same income. Same skills. Same person. Different location. Completely different life. You're not stuck because you lack resources. You're stuck because resources you have don't work in location you're in. Move those resources to location where they work better, and you're not stuck anymore. But moving requires: tolerating uncertainty about how things will work out, being uncomfortable while figuring out new systems, releasing familiar patterns even when familiar is miserable, trusting you can build better life from scratch. Most people choose familiar misery over unfamiliar uncertainty. Devil you know feels safer than devil you don't, even when devil you know is grinding you down. This is why people stay in: jobs they hate, relationships that don't work, locations that don't serve them, lives that feel like slow suffocation. Because at least they know how to survive current misery. Unknown is terrifying even when unknown might be better. But what if you're not choosing between misery and uncertainty? What if you're choosing between: familiar misery that will continue indefinitely, or temporary uncertainty that leads to actually building life you want? When you're in survival mode, you're making choices based on: what's cheapest, what's fastest, what gets you through next month, what keeps crisis at bay. Not what you actually want. What you can manage given constraints. Those choices compound into life that doesn't reflect your preferences. Reflects what you could piece together while drowning. But when you move somewhere your income works better, you're not in survival mode anymore. You have breathing room to choose based on: what you actually want, what serves your family, what creates life you're proud of. That's not small difference. That's the difference between life you're enduring and life you're choosing. Living in America isn't default you're stuck with. It's choice you're making every day by not choosing differently. And choosing differently is available to you. Link in bio for people ready to choose. What would you choose if survival wasn't consuming all your energy? 🆘🇺🇸
