Re: Also some number of US ex-pats in UK finance, and a number of technology types all over Europe. However, I bet many of these guys and gals are feeling the call of Shanghai, Beijing, and Hong Kong. True but expat yuppies don't follow the same rules as your average jobseeker... US MBAs don't come to Paris, Milano or Brussels, rent a hotel room and then start reading the local newspapers' job offerings. They usually get their overseas job AT HOME with a US multinational or the US affiliate of a European multinational. Moreover, most of the time, language is not a problem --heck, if anything, it's a problem for the locals! In the "expat world" everybody is expected to speak and write in English --from Barcelona to Helsinki.
