The Global Manager's Guide to Living and Working Abroad: Western Europe and the Americas

by Mercer Human Res Consulting, Inc.

Overview

Living and working abroad. Sounds glamorous—and maybe it is, if you're posted to Paris or Vienna. But what if your company sends you to Santiago, Lisbon, or Montevideo? Many questions arise: Is it safe to go out at night? Do quality schools exist? How polluted is the air? Is public transportation handy? What's the average monthly rent for a decent house? What inoculations should you get before you go? Can you find your favorite brand of toothpaste? The Global Manager's Guide to Living and Working Abroad: Western Europe and the Americas answers these and many other questions expats will have about the cities that companies send employees to most often in the Western Hemisphere.
