Just a fair warning.
Ironically if you decide to work for a company like Atlas (greencard allowed) you can pretty much live anywhere in the world once you’ve got your citizenship.
I’ve been a foreigner in these lands for over two decades now, so I know a thing or two about getting hired here, without being a citizen. That’s really not the case anymore and really only in the cargo world, with certain military contracts. The reason they won’t specifically tell you, is because it’s illegal under US law, unless there’s a genuine reason.

You keep pushing Atlas and while it has its pro’s it’s not for everyone, especially those with families and young kids. I’ve got more than a handful of friends there and not a single one would stay there if they could leave for FEDEX/UPS or a legacy.
