No, not any more, as I’m past retirement age. Otherwise, I would definitely consider it. I worked for 20 years as staff translator at an EU institution. Loved it and learn a lot!

Definitely, depending on the role 09:49

If I had been offered a role in an international organisation when I was young enough to do it justice, I would have been delighted.

Back in my younger days I would have definitely accepted the role, provided it was something interesting or even unique. But nowadays, that the wild life is over, I prefer my usual comfortable environment.

I'm not young any more but I would still cherish a new experience. It's not forever anyway even though it would be an upheaval.
