I had my first Istanbul interview yesterday morning.
I'm thinking I do not need to make this decision; they will kind of make it for me if they pick me or not. But I can't help but think about the possibility. Right now, I have neither a yes or no feeling.
I mentioned this on my vacation with my parents. They were not pleased. But I am trying to not have their thoughts color my choice. I do not want to be that person who does things based on others opinions. I just want support if I choose to do it. It's not enough to have my own confidence. Still working on that.
My two best friends are helping me and sharing their advice. They both say "do it," because like me they are adventurous badasses, too.
The pay is less than I make now. Contract from August '15 - June '16. Summer is paid and they hope you return for the next year, obviously.
Cost of living is CHEAPER than DC.
I don't know if I'd be saving any money if I did this, so it would be for the experience. My main concern is being able to support myself since I'll be far from home.
It seems to be a pretty cheap place to live. I think I could have about $750-1000/month left over after rent and student loans, I should have enough to live comfortably and also do quite a bit of travel.
I flip flop between stress free security and poor adventure.
Only time will tell.
