Well done, dammit, well done!
I'm really glad and excited telling you that starting from March 7th I will work in the US! Chicago!!!
Depending on how well you know me, you could wonder about the title of the post, but, shortly said: it has been 2 years that I asked my Company to move to the US (look at the date in the URL of the link ;). My expections lately weren't that high anymore, but I applied for an open position at the beginning of September.
After english tests, motivational interviews, technical interviews and such, I signed my contract with the US branch of my company shortly before Christmas! And icing on the cake, I can't even be more happy than this since my darling lives just in Chicago.
Well, obviously it didn't happen randomly: she was my english teacher in Florence when I made the decision to take private lessons in english to prepare better for the needed tests for this internation project I wanted to join. Then... she became my girlfriend :)
My first choice in the US was, and has always been, San Francisco, but you know... Love is love! :)
