According to the U.S. Committee on Economic Development, “80 percent of U.S. executives believe their companies would operate better if more internationally cultured employees were present.” American companies need people that have the ability to adapt to different cultures, languages and countries if they intend to sell their products internationally.

Companies are willing to pay a premium for talented expats. Expat employees earn on average between 30 to 40 percent more than their counterparts in the same positions in the U.S. In addition to this, being bilingual can earn you between 2 to 15 percent more depending on how fluent you are and also what languages you speak. Expat benefit packages typically pick up housing, car and driver, international schools and housekeeping services.

Problems you will encounter when working abroad
If you were to take most travel blogs at face value you would be forgiven if you thought that working abroad was a constant barrage of fun times and memorable experiences. While there may be some of those moments, the reality is that you will likely face even more difficult situations than an equivalent job in your home country. No matter what way you choose to earn your income abroad, these are some of the difficulties you must overcome in order to be successful.

Seven simple steps to finding a job abroad
When I decided to move to Lebanon, I took the millennial approach and Googled every possible piece of advice on the internet about how to find a job abroad. Most of the articles I found gave blanket advice that could be applied to any situation like “Use Social Media to Connect with New People You Don’t Know” or “Make a Video Resume to Get Hired Abroad” or my, personal favorite “Make Sure Your Passport is Valid.”  While these articles meant well, they obviously weren’t giving me the lay of the land I needed. Outside of a handful of helpful sites and articles – Nomadic Matt’s website, The US State Department’s website for working abroad  and Matador Network - there is not a lot of concrete information available on the internet.
