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'?

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

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.

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!

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.

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

exactly what I was thinking man...


the key there being 'do what you love' and 'you can always leave'

...do it now, don't wait years from now until you ARE tied down, moving with a wife & kid & other issues makes it tough as shit to move where you want WHEN you want...
