Topic: Would you consider moving abroad? - page 8. (Read 1456 times)

This is really unfortunate and I feel bad for those whom live in a country where it's just so hard to get a decent paying job no matter how smart one is or how much education they have under their belt.  The thing that's really disgusting though is when people are desperate to leave a country for a better life, there's always going to be people to take advantage, like you mention with people being killed.  This is of course how a lot of sex trafficking happens.  So sad, so sickening.

It is indeed good to have side hustles nowadays specially the job opportunities offered are not that plenty enough and has a very low salary to help you sustain your daily needs while your expenses keeps on skyrocketing due to this inflation and high prices of needs. For me personally, I am still open about the possibility of going abroad due to same reason as yours and more importantly, I'll only go there if I am assured to have a job since processing your papers for abroad here in my country requires decent amount of money and it would be a waste if I didn't have a job to land on once I'm abroad.

Moving abroad is the best option, in my country almost all workers wanted to go abroad because they wanted to earn big income for the future but it is not easy because there are so many test that we need to pass before we can go in to different country, it is also risky to go apart from your comfort zone, i also here so many news with regards to abuse of some ofw some are killed being burn body store in a freezer. Etc,., So i consider going abroad is only for the brave.

    There is nothing wrong with going abroad and usually those who do it make sacrifices to leave their family just to give the family they left behind a better future.
   
    And besides that, OFWs also help the economy in their country because of the money they send from their hard work. So for me this thing is fine. Because for others this is their only solution in terms of finances.

I personally have never thought of moving abroad. Maybe because I already feel comfortable with my own country. But to be honest then of course the salary in my current country is very low maybe even if I only rely on the salary from my job in the real world then maybe it will only be enough to cover my needs. And of course it won't be easy for me to save and invest. So I decided to always be open to this type of side job. what I specialize in is only from online work. I also sometimes trade online to supplement my income. and it can be said that now my income has exceeded the minimum salary in my country. and Alhamdulillah I can save and invest stably and regularly now.

Yeah, it do really sucks on speaking about that culture which is mostly been practiced or really that rampant here on my country on which your parents is really expecting something from you on the time you do finish up college or on the time you had able to have some work. It turns out that it is really that mandatory that you should be giving up all the money you do have which it would really be slowing out the progress of your child on reaching out their plans and goals in life would be slowed down just because you've been sucking all that they have which its definitely on point on what you have said.
This is why some people would really be just deciding to go abroad because they do see that their income isnt really just that enough for them.

There are lots of priorities we do have specially when we arent that get married or have our own family, this is where responsibility would really be attached into you which is really that sad.
You would really be having that kind of challenge in life which there's no way for us to avoid.

Honestly, sometimes this is my dilemma and that's to work abroad and find a better career that I think suits the likes of my passion and at the same time can help me grow in the future with my family and have a better life. But with the fast-paced motion of the world today, we can see a lot of remote opportunities can be found and we don't have to be on the actual site just to work. However, the thing is that wages will differ if you're from a developing or third-world country. This is what most employers are considering because the lifestyle and cost of living are different from where the company is based. I'm thinking of those benefits that a citizen can enjoy and have a toxic-free environment. But then, I guess I'm not yet ready for it and I'm still good with what I've got and some livelihood that I've managed to come up with my profits through Bitcoin.

I'm sure everyone will agree with your opinion, we need jobs with good income but the state government is unable to provide job vacancies for everyone, the government should provide opportunities for business capital that can open up new business opportunities, but I am surprised that many state officials have been arrested due to corruption cases, if only the government cares about the people then they will focus on public services to realize new job opportunities for the community and we don't need to go to other countries to work but they don't consider the best solution for the public.

Who would say no? If you are capable of moving and succeeding in finding a job in a country with good pay and a better lifestyle then everyone will say yes unless you are really patriotic and want to serve your nation no matter what. Most European nations are comfortable communicating with English alone so language cannot be a huge barrier to taking that decision but if I were given a chance I will try to move country like Dubai or Singapore.

This is hella true. In Asian culture, It's so fucking stressful to be a breadwinner in the family where you know that you're almost responsible for everything while you're looking like a piggy bank of your parents. I had a couple of friends where their parents treat them like this. I understand the family oriented culture of people but holy shit, how would their children succeed if they're the one sucking it all up just to keep their parents proud.  This kinda made me appreciate the American culture where their children should be able to live on their own and separate at the age of 18.

Talking about luck there by the way, it seems like you will have a hard time finding job abroad if you don't have either a backer or someone you know that could help you out amongst the crowd of applicants with the same goal as yours.

People think it's all just hardwork. Hardwork will only get you so far, but to this hellish days, it's who you know rather than what you know.

Not really just lack of employment. Here in the Philippines, there are plenty of in-demand jobs like Software Engineers and IT Support, but the issue lies on low salary with such high qualifications. This is why some people here in my country tend to migrate to countries like Singapore since I heard that tech-related jobs there are high-paying.

People think of going abroad when there is lack of employment in their own country. Nowadays there is lack of employment for people due to high competition. Many are migrating abroad for it. But life abroad is not as glamorous as it seems. When you go to a different country, you have to keep everything in mind, the language of the country is important, there is a risk of not improving abroad. Adapting to the environment there is also an important issue. Therefore, I think that if you work as an entrepreneur in your own country through your own maximum efforts, success will come at some point. And those who have gone abroad for higher education will work for the betterment of their country after completing their studies

There are no truer words written than what you wrote. A whole lot of people do think life is rosy and sweet over in developed countries. But the fact is, you would have to work hard for your paycheck. Admittedly, the standard of living would be much better than developing nations but that doesn’t mean developed nations don’t have their own share of problems. So before anyone would plan to move away to locate greener pastures, make sure you’re really up for the challenge and no doubt, there are lots of challenges to be faced when migrating to a new environment.
A lot of people thinking life would be better elsewhere than their home country make the move to travel only to come back to their home country more wretched and miserable than they went.

This is exactly why I never left my nation. I got a job offer from England, which is multiple times better than my own nation, I would have been living a much better life financially, it is not even remotely close, I would be much much much richer. But I rejected. Because I knew that I would be away from everyone I love, and I would be unhappy about it and I would not be able to focus on how to live properly.

I think there are people who can do it, which is awesome and if you can do it then you should, it's the smart decision to leave and work at a place that is better than your nation, that is what you SHOULD do if you have to chance. But some of us like me feel chained because we can't leave our friends and family here and leave for some other place, we should, but we can't.

Everyone has a different way of believing they will be successful the way they are. You are right that going abroad can also increase your income but it cannot be said that you will be successful abroad. There are people who are successful in their own country and all have their own path to reach their dreams.

Who doesn't like staying within their own country and living around the people that they love and have always been around? But it becomes mandatory for some to move somewhere else only to find better opportunities and to get and provide a better life for their loved ones, and though it's not easy, one doesn't always have a choice.

I personally would definitely love to have the opportunity to work online from home or anywhere I want to, as you said, you can travel, move somewhere else, or do anything and you won't have to worry about your job since you carry it with you all the time.

Moving abroad is the best option specially to those who cant find a job in their own country, ot to those who has a job but very small salary, we all wanted to have a bright future but sometimes future depends on our luck, because there are also people who go abroad but still cannot find enough money to have a bright future.

Certainly, I've got quite a few acquaintances that returned, some within a year or two, while others stayed for longer, but the majority of them returned for a variety of reasons, but you get my point. Finding a job abroad certainly isn't easy; however, compared to some countries, it might be easier to gain the required recognition for your degrees and qualifications.
You'll find opportunities even in the country of your residence, but depending on where you live, you may not have too many choices. Dubai has become a popular immigrant destination, with people moving there for work. They are so many that locals in Dubai are pretty much nonexistent.
I'm from Greece, and military enlistment is mandatory for 9 to 12 months, depending on the location. It's basically a year of unpaid work that abruptly halts your life. I'm not sure what niche I'd work in, but I'm interested in data analysis and statistics.
That's actually true. We often bash how other countries have better conditions than ours until we see for ourselves that it's not necessarily true. I'm not against moving abroad if you can't use your full potential here; however, the living conditions abroad might be completely different from what you're used to. For instance, living with one, two, or even more housemates is a common practice abroad in order to share rent and expenses; here, not so much, which is also something that I wouldn't prefer, to be honest.

everyone have it own way of handling issues that come across, i believe that if you really want your partner to go along with you, you have done that, because issues of not want to stay from her parents is not that may deprived you not to travel to abroad, except the abroad you are going to is not doesn't have any positive impact to create in your life, if assume it has positive impact to contribute to your life you have fine a positive or tangible suggestions to render to your partner, because you give the parents someone that will assist them in her home and after you have traveled you make a vesa of visitation for  her to come over.

Most of the young generation is disturbed by the economic crisis, as in my own country due to inflation and COVID a huge loss of Jobs causes many talented people to move abroad for better opportunities because in Pakistan here the JOB opportunity is very low and the average income can not compared with the income he can generate on same or below level in abroad there is some impact of the evaluation of the currency recently + there are other factors involved. Youth have new goals to achieve they dream of their full future and plan it today so they prefer working abroad and then spending lives particularly portion in Peace here in Homeland. But it is alarming for any country where youth is leaving just because of the lack of opportunities.

People does have different status in life and their responsibilities specially into their shoulders and also if you are the only breadwinner of such family then you would really be needing to sacrifice or even raising up
with your own family on which you would really be dealing up with something like this if you wont really be having no choice. If you are that contented on living a life which it is really just sufficient on eating 3x
a day then its your choice but if you are really that looking into your children's future and would really be tending to give the best life that they could possibly be then you would really be jumping into those
opportunities on which you could see that it could potentially give out that hope or target you are thinking on.

Luck does plays a role on here too considering that employers arent always been that good and just as mentioned where there are really that abusive specially on middle east or something on that part
where they are really that treating OFW's to be that a slave and they do have that mindset that they could do everything that they do want.
