On this week's guest episode, I speak with David McNeill the founder of Expat Empire.  Prior to building Expat Empire, David left the United States in 2014 after working in Investment Banking and and Product Management and has since lived in Tokyo, Berlin, and Porto. David started Expat Empire because he has a genuine passion for living abroad. He is also the host of Expat Empire Podcast and Author of Passport to Working in Japan. As the founder of Expat Empire, David McNeill is focused on inspiring people to move abroad and showing them how to do it. In addition to producing books, podcasts, blog posts, meetup events, and more, Expat Empire offers personalized consulting services to give everyone the opportunity to achieve their international dreams. David shares the difficulty in finding work when he moved and how he overcame those struggles; He reminds us to: Look for skill sets that you can add to whatever experience you have and which is also relevant to your next career move. If you are going through a rough time abroad, know that you are not alone and the situation is not particular to you. Just keep your head down and be open-minded.
