I enjoyed this. This provided a glimpse into a world that is very different from what I’ve encountered previously, and I’m really glad that you chose to share it. I do think that there is some truth to what you mention about skill-building. I especially appreciate that you were candid about the perks and costs; a globe-trotting lifestyle can certainly have an appeal, but transience and lack of stability/community is something that is discussed less often.
The snippet about finding “socialising a lot more enjoyable in a headspace where I don’t need to prove myself” feels very relatable. I also became more more comfortable socializing once I felt secure. It took me a while to get there, but the feeling of not needing to prove oneself is very nice.
I’m also glad to see a mention of Turn The Ship Around, which is one of the best books I’ve read on leadership and communication in the context of managing people.
