u/HanzoEX

So while waiting for renewal (it’s been over 180 days now) I got reached out to by a company in Norway to interview and move there. Yes it’s real, I have a friend who works there and put in a word for me with the ceo.

Literally never thought of the possibility of just…leaving the US. Like I grew up here and everything, I even own a house! Last year I would have rolled my eyes, like I would just leave everything behind. But isn’t that what my parents did too?

If I left, I would be leaving my family and friends, but would have about $300,000 after selling my home and paying the bank the remainder, a legal status, and from what I have already discussed- an actual pathway to citizenship if I stick to it long enough (of course i will).

Of course it’s a one way trip given the circumstances.

Idk what would you guys do? Rn I’m leaning towards seeing where this goes.

Edit-You guys are the sweetest 😭 I’m gonna be accepting the interview offer and seeing where things go.

To clarify, yes I already some Norwegian since I picked it up a few years ago for fun. I wouldn’t say 100% fluent but enough to talk, read, and write in most situations. English is common enough that I might be asked to just speak English after they have their fun of watching me try.
