Give Ren the country and your role or perspective, such as an individual or family considering relocating.
Give Ren your role or perspective, the named city and its country, and why you want the report, such as relocation.
Give Ren your perspective, your job title, your industry, the region and the specific countries, your seniority and years of experience, and the company size you expect.
Give Ren the company, the specific role, the location and the kind of decision, such as evaluating an offer.
Give Ren the named decision, the amount at stake, the options on the table, including staying, your current financial position, the time horizon and what's non-negotiable.
Give Ren the destinations under consideration, why now, who is moving, what's non-negotiable, the target date and what stays the same.
A relocation is four decisions wearing one coat. Is the country right? Is the city right? Does your career survive the move, and what does it pay there? Can the household afford it, and what does it give up? Most people research the one they are excited about and guess the other three, then move on the strength of a holiday, an offer or a partner's family, and meet the fourth decision eighteen months in. This program prepares you through evidence and two guided documents. Ren researches the country, the city, your pay and the company or role you're targeting from public sources, and writes a sourced report on each, footnoted and rated for confidence.
Understand the country you'd be living in before you look at any city inside it.
Get the city-level picture: what it costs, what the infrastructure and regulations are like, and how the city compares with its peers.
Know what your role pays in the destination market, in local currency, from named sources.
Know what's publicly knowable about the company or role you're targeting, so the decision rests on evidence rather than hope.
Structure the household's finances around the move honestly: what it costs, what it forecloses, and what stays true if things move against you.
Score the destinations against what you value, name the trade-offs and the transition risks, and write the first ninety days.
