Are you looking for a(nother) senior executive position, that will possibly be abandoned 3-4 years later, when you finish your BSc? I&#x27;m not really sure if there are a lot of opportunities with such conditions, especially without an existing, local professional network, or without being famous in the industry. This works for freelancers&#x2F;consultants - if you have the option, become one. Otherwise it&#x27;s easier to find generic non-executive STEM jobs once you live at the target location.<p>Alternatively, keep the current job...
