Has anyone worked overseas--Middle-East, Asia, Europe--
as a contract tech writer? I see occasional recruiting
ads, usually for one-year contracts, and am wondering if
this might be worth exploring. If you've had this experience,
how was it? I'm particularly interested in:
--What to look for in a agency
--Typical compensation and other benefits available
--Any other tips, pointers, advice
If you haven't contracted overseas but know someone who has,
I'd appreciate it if you'd forward this inquiry to them.
