| INTERNATIONAL CONTENTS: North American researchers are accustomed to reviewing salary surveys. It's a good way to get in the ballpark for private company or professional salaries. Here's an interesting tool for doing just the same thing in other locations throughout the world. Overseas Digest has a "free salary expert tool." We might just change that "free" to "fun." Job titles from accountant to yarding engineer combine (at your choice) with locations from Afghanistan to Zimbabwe to generate a simple salary range for that profession in that locale. Information returned even includes a few details about cost of living and provides good source data that you might explore directly. Best yet is that the geographic areas break down from countries to cities for many locales (10 cities in France, for example). What does a CEO in Bonn earn? How about a physician in Paris? Go directly to the salary expert tool at http://www.overseasdigest.com/salaryexpert.htm The rest of Overseas Digest is just as interesting. Use the Directory link to get to information about specific countries. For fun, go to the Living Abroad section to see articles and links to expat resources ("How to hold a conversation anywhere in the world"). It is a good reminder that our international prospects fall into several distinct groups. In addition to constituents born in or living in other countries, researchers are evaluating native-borns who are working and living abroad. A researcher's nirvana -- everything in one handy spot. That appears to be what Finfacts Ireland has set out to accomplish. Links to breaking news, house prices, stock prices, salary surveys, business directories, CEO pay -- all in Ireland -- abound. Some of the links are links to other links and we all know how that works (or doesn't). If your prospects are living or working in Ireland, this site will be worth exploring and revisiting. Before you get too far away, check out Finfacts Australia. Breaking news and a respectable collection of business, stocks and currency links will serve as a launch point for our Down Under (or Over, depending upon where you are) research.
