    I suspect you aren't the only person wondering about that.

      Really interesting thanks - a quick browse of Dice confirms what you said.

      Not appealing to me due to my European timezone and family commitments, but if I was single I would consider relocation to Barbados for a few months and take advantage of these opportunities.

Assuming their move fishing in the wider self employed fish pond has pretty much failed, what happens next at places like that, QDOS etc....?
        The insurers will add to their portfolio of offerings, insurance to companies - as well as maintaining insurance for those that find Outside roles.

            Aren't explosions the last thing you want in O&G?

                The explosion isn't nearby though- it's remote

                - unless they are sending you the remote so you cop the blame
                merely at clientco for the entertainment

                      Have something worth selling, get some contacts in the US, sell it. I started out by partnering with small companies (some EU based) that had existing US business and bidding on contracts with them as prime, me sub. I also built some contacts when living there for several years.

                      Probably ain't going to happen if you're a generalist/coder because anyone can hire them from anywhere - there are bazillions of good ones in the US to choose from.
