I am surprised no one mentioned manager roles. People don't change that much I guess. We know more about our behaviors, that's right, but experience with working with people is something that will be always relevant in my opinion. I'd say the same about sales(?) and any kind of job that is related to interacting with people.

Just my opinion, not sure how true it is.

Managerial roles does not transfer well from country to country. Culture issues arise frequently, not just when dealing with the people you manage, but also with upper management.

Only exception is VP, President, C-level positions. They usually transfer well since they speak the same language.

I can see managing up being an issue, but managing down all depends on managing style. In my opinion if you're a good manager it shouldn't really be affected by culture.

Hmm, I think you are right. I was rather answering the questions in the description not in the title, my bad.
