There’s an uptick in desire among millennial workers to move abroad for work. It’s no surprise either, as many millennials are perfectly positioned to pick up their life and start fresh in a new city or country.

In 2015, FlexJobs found that 70% of millennials say the desire to travel is a primary reason to work. With a majority of young adults wanting to take on international opportunities, it's common to question if there is enough job supply to meet this demand.

While some millennials are most interested in brief travel stints, others would like to make a permanent change and uproot their life for a new city or country. According to TransferWise, 41% of millennials want to live abroad. While this number may surprise some, it does seem to fit with the demographics of the generation.

In fact, a 2016 Gallup poll found that 59% of millennial's have never been married and 60% of them do not have any children in their home. Candidates that are single with no children are easy to pick up and place anywhere on the map that they are needed. They can be more willing to take on exciting opportunities because they aren’t impacting anyone else by their decision.

Considering A Career Abroad? Answer These 4 Questions Before You Go
Millennial women are on the move, and want the opportunity to work abroad more than ever before. A study from PwC earlier this year found that international work is attracting "unprecedented" demand, with 70% of millennial women indicating that they want to work abroad, particularly early on in their careers. As a journalist, I have relocated twice in the past five years from Australia, to the U.K. and U.S. But before each move, there were a series of questions I asked myself that helped me to decide whether or not my move would suit my ambitions, both personally and professionally. I have experienced what it's like to land in a new country and hunt for a job only once I had arrived, and I've also moved abroad with a project already lined up – but both scenarios required careful planning and consideration. Whether you’ve just commenced your search, or if it’s already well under way, here are four questions you need to ask yourself well before you pack your bags. Knowing the answer to these in advance will help prepare you for a successful time abroad from the very start.
