I'm finishing up grad school with a master's in about a year, and I have a job in investment banking right now on the side (just as an intern, 15 hours a week, but I've managed to make a decent first-impression, so it might get more serious).
But I'll be damned if I want to be stuck up here for the rest of my life, so I want to go mobile. Maybe go down to Brazil - I imagine that labor market is far from saturated for educated professionals. Anyone made the move down to BRZ permanently?
The most obvious way I can think of improving my chances is learning the language - then it'd be great to land a serious paying job in a place like SaƵ Paulo or Rio. I've learnt a decent amount of Spanish that I want to continue to improve by hanging out with Spanish-natives in my home town - I hope this would make Portuguese much easier and faster to learn.
Can someone comment on the downsides of this idea? Or maybe give provide me (and others interested in making the same move) with some tips on how to design a road-map for a goal like this? Obviously, the shorter the time horizon, the better!
