Hi David,
You are welcome. By the way, how are the technical writer job openings in
UK? How easy is it to migrate to UK for TW? I do have some relatives in UK.
I was considering of UK, Australia, and U.S. I heard the job market in U.S
is badly affected because of the recession and U.S economy slowdown.
I am also equally worried about the remuneration, but I really do want to
experience working outside India, since I always wanted to study in a
university abroad and that did not happen because of my early
marriage, kids, and family commitment. Since my husband has finally agreed
to my idea of relocating, I thought why not make use of the new
opportunities, letting the past behind!
Regards,
Siri
