Re: Job advice

You're still young, so if you really REALLY want to know/live/work at other countries this is your chance! You'll never be younger and/or more energetic than now! (and absorbing an entirely new way of living, working and talking requires a fuckton of energy) You've got time to settle down. However, if your goal in life is finding a nice little corner of the world for yourself and building on that, I'd take the long-term job.

It ultimately comes down to how soon you want to be all settled in. Of course settling for the long-time position won't mean you can't go abroad again, but it's much harder to go live somewhere else once you've got your life organized around an established career. You should sort your priorities first, and weigh the pros and cons (do you have any family that you'd be leaving behind? any relationship? is it hard for you to make new friends? would you feel homesick?).

I hope what I've said makes sense to you, and I hope I've helped.

As someone who has done the year-long-contracts-overseas thing, I second this. The long-term positions (as long as you're not talking about academia) will still exist when you're done travelling.
