Moving to a new country to start a new job is nerve-wracking, scary, and eye-opening. But it's also a fantastic way to learn more about new cultures, broaden your horizons, and develop new skills.
However, new research has found that women are less likely than men to move abroad for their career (25% compared to 38%). In fact, 28% of women cite their partner's job or education, or their relationship, as their main motivation for moving to a new country, according to the $4, the world's largest expat community.
