If it was long term, the job would definately have to be worth it.
If short term Id consider going, just for the experience

Given the choice of the same job for the same pay here or overseas, I'd stay here. If the money and benefits were right, I'd consider leaving. Also depends on where "overseas" is :wink:

if the paycheck and other benefits were good, i would certainly consider it, also depending on the country

but you are saying if you were "offered" a job. the people that usually make offers for people to come to them usually make pretty sweet deals so i think that would probably answer my question.
so im going to have to vote, go for it
SW20, a work in progress for 2 years now, all i need to do now is work on it

Would have to consider all the details.
Things like paycheck, where, partner etc. etc.
Short term hell go for it :lol: :lol:
Long term you'd have to weigh up all the pro's and con's.

Great chance to see part of the world though and you could always come back in time if you wanted.

What he said :)
We know that four-wheel drive doesn't work in a racing car, and I proved to myself that it doesn't work very well for rallycross. I'm absolutely convinced that it has no future in rallying, either, even if the regulations allowed it. - Roger Clark (rallying legend), circa 1976

Would depends on the pay and the country. America or Japan would be the only place to go.

Hell, I don't think I'd wanna go to America. Japan, yes. Anywhere else, I don't know! Aus would be good though.
Motorsport is like sex. You could take it to track and have a long, enjoyable session, or you could take it to the strip and get it over with in less than 20 seconds.

Hey, where's the both option :wink:

That's what I currently do, work in Australia for 6-9 months per year and the rest of the time I spend in NZ. If I could wean my clients off of requiring my presence I would spend more time in NZ. Thanks to the wonders of VPN and the Internet I could do my job and only spend a couple of months per year in the land of the demented wombat. That way I get the benefit of living where I want and still earning a lot more than any NZ company is prepared to pay for my services :wink:
