Relocating from the UK to find an Architecture Job Abroad, ft. Russell M. Henderson.

Working abroad can be exciting, but relocation needs more than optimism. Candidates need to understand the market, the culture, the visa route and their own appetite for risk.

Stephen Drew speaks with Russell M. Henderson about relocating from the UK to find an architecture job abroad, including working internationally, moving to Tanzania, career risk, applications, mindset and what candidates should research before leaving.

The conversation covers:

• What it can be like to move abroad for architecture work
• Why research matters before relocating
• How expectations can differ between markets
• Why mindset and adaptability matter when working internationally
• What candidates should consider before leaving the UK
