Great read, I can relate. The famous last words of a first time expat…”I’ll be back home in 2years”. Re-entry is a funny thing, as you have all the experience, skills, and more, yet you also have no experience. Such a strange thing. Keep up the great writing!

Thanks Dustin such a true statement. Those 2 years become 20 in the blink of an eye. Thanks for the support and encouragement.

It's exciting you are exploring the "what's next" and you might surprise yourself with how many skills are transferrable and how much of your experience can be repurposed.

You are not starting from scratch: You are building the new on a solid foundation.

It's an exciting turn in your life and career journey, featuring the challenges of being a returnee. Something I have contemplated but not yet done (still abroad after 20 years). Start with your values. All the best!
