Would it be better working in the United States or working in America?

I am American and have worked in the UK. Yes, you get paid more but everything is almost twice as expensive in the UK versus the United States. So it becomes a wash. You might get paid less in the U.S. but everything is more affordable based on your salary. I think the bigger question is where do you want to live??? Having experiences in working outside of the U.S. are valuable for your resume as multi-national organizations/global companies would find them valuable if serving in a global role. You must also know that you will need a visa to work in other countries if you are a U.S. citizen. The local companies in that country will need to support your visa to work there, however, you may need to pay your taxes in the U.S. to keep your citizenship and pay taxes in that country, which could become a huge expense. Lots of things to look at before considering working abroad. Here is 7 simple steps: http://www.forbes.com/sites/alexandratalty/2013/09/13/seven-simple-steps-to-finding-a-job-abroad/13a5711e7b5c.
