  • Not strictly technical, although organizational science might be seen as a technical field on it’s own.

    Regularly rotating people between teams is desirable.

    Many companies just assign you in a team and that’s where you’re stuck forever unti you quit. In slightly better places they will try to find a “perfect match” for you.

    What I’m saying is that moving people around is even better:
    You spread institutional knowledge around.
    You keep everyone engaged. Typically on a new job you learn for the first few months, then you have a peak of productivity when you have all the new ideas. After some 2 years you either reach a plateau or complacency.








  • I’d aim for countries that have few American immigrants, like Eastern Europe, South America, anywhere but Thailand and Japan in Asia… Of course avoid those actively hostile to Americans.

    Alternatively somewhere English-speaking so you’d barely stand out - Canada, UK, Australia

    Actually most countries in the world have little American immigration. Avoid Spain, Portugal, Mexico, Thailand, Japan, most small Caribbean countries (I guess). The stereotypical “expat” places.

    It’s like any kind of immigration. A small number is always welcome, but once many immigrants of the same origin come you get social cohesion issues.
