Ireland Bound

I seem to only be good at keeping up with this thing whenever I go through a major life shift. Lots of things have changed: I’ve left my role at Fair, I’m more than halfway done with the OMSCS program, and I’ve upped and moved to Dublin, Ireland.

Wait What? Ireland?

Yes, Ireland!

Why?

A variety of reasons:

I was born and raised in the suburbs of Los Angeles. I went to university in Los Angeles. I started my career in Los Angeles. I’ve spent 10 years living in Los Angeles proper. I’ve pretty much lived in every neighborhood in the city, and I need a change.
Donald Trump is president and all of the negative effects that that’s had on the US (I think this one is a pretty common one)
National Guard was rolling down my block, because of the Black Lives Matter protests - I find my country’s response to these protests disgusting. Black people are just asking to not be murdered. Apparently that’s too much to ask of our police.
My partner accepted a role in Dublin
I accepted a remote role that gives me flexibility to work out of Dublin
My partner and I want to explore Europe

Will You Return to the US?
