Two questions regarding switching companies in the future
Hey Guys! I have two questions and I hope you might be able to answer them, if you can spare a couple of minutes. :) So I'm currently working in Europe as a Junior Animator. I would like at some point in the future (1-2 years) to try to relocate to the US or Canada.. So: 1) How hard is it to get hired by a company in the… -

sprunghunt: I get it now, thanks very much, makes sense! I thought so too, that its more important to be able to adapt quickly, rather than to know the company's pipeline from the beginning on.

1a) Coming to the US you'll need a degree and or a lot of work experience. I also think there are some laws on the books that prevent US companies from hiring people from outside of the US unless they run out qualified candidates within the US. 1b) I have no clue about CA but I hear they give you a puppy and stretch limo… -
