I just turned 30, Scandinavian, CFA Charterholder, MSc from LSE, GMAT 730, spent five years working in fund manager research in the UK. I've done a lot of fund manager interviews and felt pretty decent at that.
Unfortunately I've found after these years that the UK just isn't a good place to live. It's a bit like a personal s-hole if you want to have a certain degree of openness and friendliness in your everyday life.
So I went back to Scandinavia, and found that everything is - very nice and open - but also incredibly provincial. Hence I'm trying to decide where I want to live out the rest of my days.
As it happens, I've been in the US twice. And the people I met were probably some of the ones I have liked the most. I'd like to explore that a bit more, but it's pretty hard from over here.
The ideal would be to spend a few months working. In that case there's no suitable designed programs, so I'd have to do cold letter writing asking for a placement pretty much. Alternatively go on holiday, but you don't exactly experience life in the same way.
Is the former remotely achievable? Any other advice about the US vs rest of the world from those who have experienced it?
Not that easy to get a visa here. Some of my friends from Canada had to go back to Toronto because they couldn't get a green card. Worth looking into though. I know the policies vary depending on country. Sometimes there's a reciprocal arrangement.

haha unfortunately this is so true. I want to move to Eastern Europe
