Future for expatriates?

What are the future prospects of a corporate/enterprise sales professional who speaks English as their main language? I noticed that when living in different countries the local language apply but sometimes some companies hire for international sales roles. Currently I live in Finland but most roles require Finnish hence I am lucky to be in an English speaking company but thinking about the future I am considering to move. I have 3 years experience in sales and now working on finishing my masters in business development part time.

What countries would you recommend?

Relicate. Country is too small and you can only go as far.

I guess it wouldn't matter the country, rather would matter what you are looking to sell and if that company has English as a primary or choice.

Most companies in Europe would sell to the Nordics in English.

Then you have your classics that we’re already mentioned here : UK, Australia, US/Canada, Singapore, HK etc

I noticed that big European markets such as France, Germany or Spain are usually addressed in their own language (and rightly so).

I just came back from a 2 year stint with my company in Singapore. I was there from Jan 2019 to Jan2021, yes during the pandemic. I expected that that position would have parlayed into another foreign role (I'm American) but after having gone through the pandemic on foreign soil, I really appreciate being back home. Pre-pandemic I thought other english speaking locals like Hong-Kong, AUS/NZ, England however protests and China response in HK was pretty cray and AUS/NZ showed they aren't really like the US after all. Singapore's common/business language is English however they have a slang called Singlish. I have english expat friends that really enjoyed Switzerland.
