Hey all, I wanted to say hi and introduce myself!
I'm from Texas and about to be married to an Argentine
We're marrying in Buenos Aires, also my first trip there. We plan to start the US immigration process for him but it's lengthy and as my current job has been worrying me we've certainly entertained the idea of me coming down there during the wait (and perhaps longer if we're happy there).
Of course there's the little problem of working and learning Spanish (I'm very much a beginner still). I'm in the video game industry (as a game designer) and I've been researching what's down there in my line of work. Finding there are a lot of studios, mostly in Buenos Aires. If anyone works in the industry or has some advice, I'd love to hear it. I'll be down there in 10 days and may have some free time during the 2 weeks while we're there (though the second week we'll be traveling to Iguassu and his hometown). At the end of the day, just the opportunity to network would be awesome, even if my job stays secure and I stay in the US.
Another obstacle, though, with the idea of me moving to Argentina is that my boyfriend is not from Buenos Aires and isn't crazy about the idea of settling there. But if I worked in games (or even pivoted to another tech industry -- I do have experience in web design), it seems like Buenos Aires would be our best option? We really want to be together, no matter what. Maybe I can just open a snow cone stand, haha. We'd be open to ideas is what I'm saying, and while I know I'm in for a culture shock and that life in Argentina has its challenges, I'm ready for the change and we're both quite adventurous.
Again, though, if someone has some suggestions on companies I could look at, maybe I can look 'em up and see if anyone wants to chat over coffee while I'm there.
Well, thanks for reading and I can't wait to be down there
