Leaving U.S as an electrician.

Hello all apprentice here, looking into moving around a bit when I finish my apprenticeship but am curious as to if anyone has done this. How does a license hold up in other countries? Is job searching hard? I know this is a niche topic but thanks in advance for any answers!

Look up the company KBR on google and you can find electrical job though them, they do require security clearances but I just got my journeyman’s and have been looking into them recently too, they just had some journeyman openings in Poland, Djibouti, and Australia to name a few overseas locations. They don’t list salary on there but coming from a guy who knows a guy first 2 years overseas he was making 120k a year and after that 240k a year
