We dive into the TN visa under USMCA (or NAFTA), employer sponsorship, and the often-overlooked legal nuances that can make or break a cross-border move. Whether you're a professional looking to work abroad or an HR leader trying to hire global talent, this episode will leave you smarter—and a little more confident. —a practical guide to money, motivation, time, and balance for career starters.
