    You're offered nearly $1B USD to pack up and go play your game on basically the other side of the planet for a crowd you do not know, aren't really familiar w/their culture and they're not exactly 'pals' w/the country / continents you're coming from... do you do it?

    To make it more realistic... You're making $90K in NYC as an AD and that far off distant land offers you $1M+ a year... do you do it?

    • I would need to know more information, but try it out for a year.bezoar
    • Get a signing bonus to prove there's money. Don't give them your passport. Spend some of that 1M on a local fixer to watch out for your interests.monNom
    • Don't expect that laws or attitudes towards employees are going to be the same as the US. For instance: Expats flee Dubai as they are essentially serfs there.monNom

    • You made it out like it was for an AD in nyc making only $90k. Quite specific.monospaced
    • Didn't mean to make it sound like there was some big AD job—I just dumbed down the scenario to something more realistic for an AD to understand...PonyBoy
    • ...guess it wasn't dumb enough.

    • Woods' worth is $1B from beforedrgs
    • You’re right, niko... one last caveat... you work for literal blood money!

      A number of players are doing this... the PGA is banning them in response.      PonyBoy
