Would you consider moving abroad?

[Hamphser]

People think that working in abroad is so easy where you can earn money without sweat but in reality it is hard, this information is first hand meaning that my close relatives and friends share their experiences in abroad to me personally. In terms of financially, they really agree that working in abroad is better because their hourly wage is much higher than here in my country. The only disadvantage is that they got easily burnout because of the heavy tasks and they cannot see their family wherein they have long distance relationship that makes them feel home sick.

They said that their mental health is also not good but their environment is much better than here. So you see there are disadvantages and advantages and if someone ask me if what will I choose between working in abroad or working here. I'll choose working here because for me there are more opportunities in my country, if I will apply for a job it is better to do it outside of the country because of the big gap pay but I do not like to apply. I prefer to build a business and building business in my country is much easy and doesn't have stiff competition so scaling business here is much easier and I can become more rich here.

Everything has its price, there is no easy job with a high salary, just like an investment, if you want high profits, you must accept high risks, everything is proportional to each other. As far as I know, working in countries like Japan and Korea all have to work more than 16 hours a day, which is very hard, it can be said that going to work abroad is not as pleasant as we think. A few years ago, I also heard many cases of workers in Japanese factories jumping to suicide because of work pressure, causing them to fall into crisis. Everyone likes a lot of money, but if I have to choose, I still prefer to stay in my hometown rather than go abroad to work with many times more pressure.

I've also noticed that those caregivers in the Middle East are mostly not treated well; others will ask for help as they can't eat as their boss or the family that they are working with are not feeding them, and others have died. It is really hard to cope physically and emotionally because you are out in another country and your family stays in your country. With a great salary comes great responsibility; you'll really sacrifice things, either your time or yourself, which affects you a lot. It is really good to live a simple life.

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.

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.

Allow them to Serve You Do something for them they can return you beter. -Hamza

I once discussed with my partner about moving abroad, but he disagreed with that and said he didn't want to be away from his parents, especially now that my mother-in-law only lives alone.
based on the conclusions of my post, actually, I really wanted to move to other countries and change the fate of my family, but after being tied to marriage, it was impossible.

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.

Not everyone is successful after working abroad, I know several people who have worked outside and none of them can change their fortunes from work abroad, they return to their home country and look for other job opportunities, don't expect to get a decent job abroad country unless you have a friend who has successfully built a business and offered you a job abroad. The effect is that people want to work abroad because other currencies are higher than the local currency and they have to save money to collect money from their salaries so that after a few years of working abroad they will be able to build outside in rural areas and be able to buy cars.

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.

I would say, opportunities are everywhere. It might seem easier to find in some other places and the grass always looks greener abroad but, it is really greener where you water it.
Have you ever wondered why there are always foreigners in your nation? I don't say this with respect to an specific nation but, most of the developing world and people still looking forward to a comfortable life in a foreign nation.

The Dubai desert land became a tourist destination because, they chose to develop it. The most that could happen is having a good leader with the potential for transformation. There are opportunities everywhere and that's why, there will always be foreign contractors to do what you could have done more better becuase, you just don't know how. Some even live in your supposedly hardship country.
Why is that? The opportunities you seek out, they seek it within your nation.

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.

It's really strange how you've written all this. Are you American military personnel based in Greece and expecting to move back to America? If so, you might be unlikely to get a working Visa to visit Europe again unless you have a very useful skill or qualification. Anyone who has lived in Europe for a while would know that it's possible to travel to most countries in the bloc even if you only know English, besides that you should make a bit of effort to assimilate and learn at least the basics of the language in any country you visit. What sort of "digital nomad" job are you expecting to be able to jump into? It's a highly competitive area and unless you can carve out a little niche in advance, then it'll take you a while to build up a sustainable income.

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.

In my country many people believe that moving out of the country is the solution to the problem they have and on getting to the other country started complaining about how the place is not much of a difference then where the left.

The problem Is they believe that the country will be way better than their country and I have seen many people getting stranded in other country because they sold all the properties to get out of their local country and they get broke.

Instead of looking for a solution to their problem in the country they are currently in, they believe that moving out will resolve their problem and on getting there is a new experience for them.

Before moving out of your country make sure that you are really up for the challenge because things will be different and you will still have to struggle to make some changes, the struggle you believe you escaped from is waiting for you in other country.  

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.

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.

[TheGreatPython]

So far, in my opinion, the best option for work seems to be online, especially if it has flexible hours and a working schedule. You can work from wherever and whenever you want, provided you get the job done. Digital nomads have been increasing over the past few years, and it seems like a perfect opportunity that provides work-life balance. I believe that it's something that would suit my personal needs. I want to travel and explore as many destinations as possible, so working a regular 9-5 job with 20 vacation days per year isn't going to cut it.

So yes, would you consider moving abroad for a better future? Would you try to find a way to stay in your country, either through online work or by accessing all possible opportunities?

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.

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.

I prefer to build a business and building business in my country is much easy and doesn't have stiff competition so scaling business here is much easier and I can become more rich here.

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.

Before moving out of your country make sure that you are really up for the challenge because things will be different and you will still have to struggle to make some changes, the struggle you believe you escaped from is waiting for you in other country.  

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.

[Septex]

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

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

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

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.

So yes, would you consider moving abroad for a better future? Would you try to find a way to stay in your country, either through online work or by accessing all possible opportunities?

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.

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.

[blockman]

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.

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.

[Uruhara]

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.

[Ben Barubal]

    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.

[MiF]

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.

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.

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.
