Wow, what a lifechanging experience. I spent a week in Buenos Aires and Neuquén, Argentina surveying for cost-of-living data with AIRINC.

In this, the final part in our series, we focus on the how talent need clear career goals when sent on development assignments.

If it's not the most interesting job in the world, it's certainly one of them. AIRINC Cost-of-Living Surveyors travel all over the world for roughly six months of the year to collect pricing data. On the surface, this is the dream job for anyone that thrives on challenging global travel – the kind that takes grit and determination to grind through as you move cities on a seemingly daily basis. Instead of touring from site to site though, you move from store to store and source to source in each location, collecting data to populate a market basket of goods, services, housing, and hardship data.
