Moving to the US for work

I eventually made it to the US in September and have started working at Amazon! It was a pretty intense period in the couple of months leading up to leaving Australia. I have compiled a list of things that that helped me and also what I wished I had known before starting the move.

Keep your documents organised

documents
There is a tonne of paperwork needed to make a move like this, from tax documents to housing applications, a lot of which you'll need to send or change multiple times. It's pretty important because of this that you keep everything organised so that you can find everything easily.
The vehicle in which you keep your items organised is up to you, make a good effort to keep it up though. Personally I used Google Drive and its fairly new scan functionality to keep all my documents organised and available on all my devices.

Coming to America

Coming to America

I'll be moving to Seattle, Washington with my wife in a couple of weeks as I've accepted a position at Amazon! I will be joining the AWS team to work on the Kindle's cloud-powered browser Silk. Needless to say I'm super excited to get into it :)

This is the reason for my being a little quiet on the blog recently; organising everything to move overseas. I hope to continue blogging after moving, though probably not quite as much as I have been over the last year. I will also be able to start up my Korean study again which I took a little break from to focus on work stuff.
