What you write is completely true.
Also, I myself see it a bit different. I don’t see myself as affiliated specifically with 1 single place. I feel that I am as much Dutch as Israeli – and generally, European (note that I include Israel as part of Europe – I believe geographically that makes sense).
I speak fluent German, and I feel perfectly at home anywhere in The Netherlands, (Dutch-speaking) Belgium, Germany, Switzerland, Austria, and the UK – and Israel. So if someone asks me, what am I really? I’m a citizen of the 21st century (loazi) – sorry, 58th century just doesn’t fit here. In this time, we don’t necessarily have to choose between one country or the other.
As you mention, one can live in EY and telecommute with America. I’m doing it the other way around: living and working in the UK with customers in EY.
And not just customers – I happen to work with particularly important customers, in particular extremely large companies and government agencies, on their most critical IT systems. I wonder what Avi K and AOM have to say about that?
