Sounds like a fucking dream! Do it!

Totally go for it bro. But is there any chance of this being a scam some how? Just make sure its legit before making any major decisions.

My only advice....wrap it up.

Very relevant question. The only verification I have is the word of a friend of a friend. Said person is employed in the same kind of position I am applying for, and she says loves it. Also, from my (farly brief) communication with the company, I am left with the impression that this is genuine.

let him go, we can't baby him forever, its time for him to strike off on his own

Getting scammed into moving to Africa would be a pretty nice story, heck, it could probably cover more than 1 chapter in your eventual autobiography.

I have many friends and family that live in Cape Town, I'm from Africa myself originally from Zimbabwe, now living in Australia and no I'm not a black man with a huge dick in case you were wondering. Cape Town is an amazing city, I would love to live there myself.

The poverty is however incredibly bad, you WILL have the occasional unemployed homeless man asking you for cash almost everyday, I think there are plenty of junkies too. If you can handle the poverty (which many people can over there) then you should have no problems. Don't start giving money to homeless people, you will be broke by the end of your first week there, if your a good person the temptation is hard but you must find other means to help improve the appalling living conditions that many people face in South Africa.

I can give you a couple of contacts of very close friends who live in Cape Town who help Zimbabwean refugees and other poverty stricken families in Cape Town, they are fucking awesome guys to drink with and they will be in tune with "Trussell" mindset in helping humanities growth as a species.

Dude, that's awesome! I'll be sure to ask for their contact info if i get the job. Thank you.

The last few days, my ego has been a bit freaked out, and it's really kind of fun to look at it objectively. I mean, i catch myself making excuses for not going. It's like babysitting a kid, and finding that he trashed the living room while you were in the kitchen. There's definitely a part of me that's scared to go.

But then again, recognizing that most of these fears are rooted in the ego kinda takes the edge off. Also, it tells me I might grow from this experience. I've been trying to get more balanced in my own company for a while now, and this might be a big step in a good direction.

I have decided to go if I get the chance. And right now, I actually believe that I will. And I feel it's important not to ignore all of the resistance i am experiencing right now. I mean, a lot of it is love, not ego. I genuinely love the people in my life, and imagining an existance that far removed from them is painful. Still, that pain only tells of how fortunate i am. And it would be disrespectful to whatever this human experience is if I let myself be held back by the comfort my luck has granted me.

You guys are awesome, thanks for your replies. It's really nice to have some positivity to balance out the worst case scenario trip that my ego starts up when I'm not paying attention.

you got my vote dude....do it!

Don't
