The idea of taking a job overseas is terrifying and exciting at the same time. If I really was going to choose somewhere to live outside of the US I feel like I would need to visit before I moved there to get a feel for the atmosphere and culture. On short notice for this theoretical, I defaulted to a place where I at least spoke the language: London.
I don’t know much about London but I don’t know any other languages and at least I like British TV. Plus there’s a sort of romantic idea about living in a big famous city overseas that’s attractive to me.
A quick search revealed multiple job postings for graphic design work in and around the city, but I took interest in this position at Doc Martens because I like their product and it’s a recognizeable brand that would help build my resume. It’s on the low end of salaries to live in London but it’s a hybrid position so I could get an apartment out of town and use their excellent (citation needed) public transportation system to commute when necessary.
Plus I get a free pair of boots, what’s not to love?
