    Offered a Job - WTF to do

    I've been doing adult full time for some years now, but also heavy into sports betting. Talked to a bloke at a major bookie and after a little back and forth he offers me a high end job (no shit).

    The BIG problem is that the job is in Tallinn, Estonia. Anyone been there? I don't know what to do. I'm sure the pay is good but nowhere near what I do in porn. Besides that I have to move to a "shit" country compared to Norway.

    On the other hand, I love sports betting and would be great with a job within that aswell. Porn can get a bit "boring" after a few years and challenges and new experiences can be good.

    argh yesus fuck.. I hate deciding these things! Help me out here, what would you do?

        Estonia is SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO much cheaper to live in than norway. Why can't you continue your adult shit as a 'sidejob'?
        ..and I'm off.

                Why would it be crappier?
                It's no longer a 'soviet' country. As far as I know it's relatively safe, clean and cheap.

                  I'd try it out if I were you. I was on a skiing trip in Norway a few months ago and the prices were insane

                            Take your laptop with you (if you have one). Take a 3 week 'vacation' in tallinn. Check into a hotel with high-speed access, continue work as usual there.
                            See if you like the city/country after 3 weeks and make your decision. No point in rushing in blind.
                            ..and I'm off.

                              what's to loose as far as I can see it:
                              - gf & family
                              - great country to live in
                              - freedom that comes with owning your own biz

                                  you don't loose any of these (ok maybe the gf, but if she's the choosen on it'll last). They are just one flight way and with moder internet you'll be able to camchat, call dirtchap etc.
                                  Just make sure you have a chanche to get out with the first 3-6months without to much notion.

                                    Gather more informationabout the place before relocating. You don't want to end up going back in a few weeks time.

                                      so if a BMW costs twice as much in some countries, does it mean, it sucks in the cheaper countries?
                                      Estonia is one of the most modern countries in Europe atm, everything can be done through internet.

                                          What is wrong with Estonia? One of the fastest growing countries in europe right now. Low taxes and sexy women (what more can you ask for) And you don´t have to be in norway to design pornsites. All you need is a laptop and a modem and you do your work anywhere in the world. If the salary is good - I say: go for it!

                                            Norway - one of the safest countries in the world, very high standard of living, and the most BORING place in the planet

                                                  Personally, I'd carry my ass. Do not pass up a chance to do something you love, especially when you aren't tied down. If you don't like it you can always leave.

                                                    Yeah sure, Estonia is the shit, lots of things happens there. My advice is to stay away from East Europe.

                                                        I threw the dice once on a out of town job and it turned into opening a ton of new doors for me down the road. I owe all I have today to this 1 chance I took........

                                                        a very profitable chance indeed I came to learn

                                                                No offence. But I think I would pick Estonia over Norway. Norway is just crazy expensive. It's a beautiful country though.
                                                                But Estonia is closer to that crazy mofo TeenGodFather than Norway is, so I guess you have to count that in too
