I plan to move to Colombia to be with a girl (I know I know). Just a basic 90 day tourist visa to start.
We are both the same age and have known eachother for years so it's not a scam. We have met in real life.
I'm going to propose to her also.
So I need a plan for the future if I am to stay there.
She is not interested in coming to Europe - she has a good career, and her dad is a bit unwell right now.
So ... what are my options for earning money there?
My background is Data Science & Analytics. I would say mid-senior level. Or perhaps just senior.
Working remotely for a EU company will be tough with the time difference. I will have to wake up at 2am for work at 9am EU time.
Regarding local jobs - my Spanish level is not good enough for a business environment. I did notice there were a lot of Colombian jobs on Linkedin where the job spec was in English. What are my chances with those? Would a Colombian company sponsor a gringo?
Or would an American company hire a European living in Colombia? The time difference will be minimal / manageable. Just not sure of the logistics of getting a job with an American company as a Euro.
Any fellow Data Science / Analytics people here that can chime in and give some advice?
I have enough savings to live about 2 years in Bogota comfortably, or 3 years if I stick to non gringo restaurants and shopping.
P.S. I do not want to teach English.
