Hello!
Our baby was born 3 months ago and for some reason it gave us the energy to embark on the adventure of moving to the DR for a while (I don't know if it will be 6 months or 20 years). We have our own house in Spain and we can both take a leave of absence so the risk if it goes wrong would be “controlled”.
Looking for how to put the puzzle together, my husband started looking for opportunities and just got a couple of offers in the resort world as a manager, so this week we will decide which one to accept 😀
My question is for me. In this life change, I would like to take the opportunity to try something new on a professional level. In this sense, I have a fairly qualified profile, more than 10 years experience in management and strategy, specializing in the food and tourism sector. The good thing is that just now I have started some remote consulting projects (I can work until the girl is one year old with this flexibility) but I would also be excited to try other worlds such as hospitality. My question is, how difficult is conciliation in the country? I understand that much worse than in Spain... can a management position in a hotel be compatible with taking care of my daughter? Do half-days exist in the country? Is there flexibility? I don't care at all about earning less, since what I would like is to try the experience of working in that sector. But it is my priority to be able to go out at a reasonable time every day to spend time with her.
In case this is complicated, I would continue as a freelancer, but I would more like to be able to immerse myself in something new! and I am excited to get involved in new challenges. I have previously live and worked in other countries such as Chile, Brazil, Mexico, India... and being able to get to know the culture is something that I am passionate about.
Thank you very much in advance for your advice.
BR!
