Working Overseas....

Going abroad usually means more money but it doesn't always mean better conditions or being 'appreciated' also when abroad the choices are very limited to change the job and you are tied up with a contract.. leave all your options open and look for a better job at home first, if you really want to go abroad you must be certain that it's a good contract and don't take a hasty step just for the money or to get out of your current situation, believe me things can always get worse no matter how bad it is..

it happened on me... having wrong decision in life... i'd a godd and stable job in our country but it does not compensate finacially on my daily needs. I was discontented and find decided to go abroad thinking that it will have a change on me. But, Then.. here i am now.. i was just doing the job that is equal to what i left for. I regreted my decision... i am now waiting for the right time and break my contract and back to my country.

Leave your job and find something better.

well i understand your situations..cause i had the same problem before,but then everywhere we go the same even aboard so u must carefully chose what u want.I now staying in croatia not my country and it really hard to find job here as for me as a cook is not easy to find. U can start to search in net they offer good job as for pro.I think the best places now it would be germany and italy u can find more on net this places they pay good and life not that hard here as everyone work fair.

Well i can usderstand your frustration, i also went to the same situation and i left abroad leaving my good job and when i went abroad i was not able to stay there due to some health problems and now when i came back i am not getting a day shift job that i had it before and now i am worried that why i went abroad leaving my good job, so think well before you take any decision.

going abroad is not really a solution. It means you're unning away. Are you there for the salary or for the job?what really makes you happy?...before you decide ask those questions to yourself..Pressure is always part of work. here in abroad, there are a lot more pressure than you think. If you don't mind are you still single or married?If you are still single, you can easily leave your family. I mean you're not carrying a big responsibility but if you will go out and go abroad but you're married that's not an easy thing you do. Here in abroad it's not easy to find a job. Yes. you earn more money than your salary but are you willing to leave your family?..think about it.. Hope i helped..

if i were you, i'd go right ahead and resign and go abroad. (but of course, it helps when you apply for a job abroad first & have youself accepted before you resign just to be sure). you're still young, in fact too young to have a job burnout already. anyway, there are still a lot of opportunities that are open for people of your age. so, go for it. don't be afraid of change. and good luck to you.

What type of work do you do? Many jobs have a lot of pressure now a days and being a supervisor can make a job even more stressful since you are depended on a lot more than other people in your company. Supervisors and managers here in my state do not get paid overtime as their salary covers everything they do. Is there a different department in your company you can work in instead so that you would not have to leave the company? Where abouts abroad do you think you would want to work?

its good that you want to take the initiative to get out of a job that doesn't make you happy. i would highly recommend going abroad because it can be a really amazing and new experience that could bring you the happiness you're looking for. im not sure what else to tell you, but i guess it depends on what kind of job you want to do and what language skills, if any, that you have. there are a lot of international organizations and non-governmental organizations that you could wrok for depending on wht your interests are. i suggest researching into the type of career you want to lead abroad and see what choices are available to you now.

You do not say what sort of work your company does or what your job skills are. Do you have job skills that not many other people have? Could you be easily replaced? You sound like you really hate your job. Perhaps there are international companies who have offices near where you live where you could make inquiry about what jobs they have available and what the job pays. Lots of luck to you my friend.

In case you decide to go abroad, the only suggestion that I can give is for you to make sure that they will pay the following on top of your salary that you expect to get here: 1. pay for feeling homesick 2. pay for the time that you will spend outside family time (this is different for homesickness) This does not always mean doubling your salary because if you are very close to your family, the price attached to the two might be higher than the salary. And when you have computed that it is worth going there, then be ready for the two feelings because they have already been paid for. Ooops, another advice is that if you are no longer happy where you are now, you might as well get out and find some other place that you can be happy. Learn from your experiences in that company. Do not be too generous by making too many sacrifices. God bless!

It is time for you to work abroad. Apply in a legitimate agency but do not resign until one company from abroad will take you. However, let me tell you that life in abroad is not that easy. Why not start a business and then make it big.

Moving abroad and getting a good new job is not easy. A lot of your education and work experience may not be recognised by companies overseas. In other words, it's starting over from scratch. Are you ready to do that? You really have to weigh the pros and cons of going overseas as objectively as possible and not let your emotions rule your decisions. Maybe you can see a career advisor/counselor.

I understand where you are!!! I was once there too... The only advice that I can give you is that you need to ask for a pay rise...If however, they reject that, then you're not that important to the company. (If you can understand what I mean...???) This will make your decision for you. If they don't want to increase your pay then you resign. If they do, then it's simple and you stay. About moving overseas, first go online and find out where you would like to go, then look for work that is available in that country. I did just that...my company back home would give me a substantial pay rise so it was a good reason for me to leave...and that is just what I did. I've been living in another country now for 6 years. Don't want to go back home but it's coming time to move on to the next one... At the end of the day, if you are not happy wherever you go, you can always go back to your home country... Good Luck!!!

This job doesn't make you be happy, change another one. Life is short, why don't we live happily. Sometimes we make some important desicions then we may lost something we don't want to, if this could make you feel happy, do it.

I do have the same dilemma before when I was young and full of life and hope for the idealisms that life could offer. So at the first sight of getting out of that job I took it hoping that I would get a better job next time and avoid such companies the next time I find a job. Then I got another job it was fine at the start but then again I realized that the same problems are happening in that company and sometimes it got even worse than the first one I entered into. I have no choice but to find another company to work with again and was lucky I found another company where I am working till this day. I stayed here longer than my past employers but did I find my utopian employer? No I did not, I have this realization that there is no such thing as ideal employer who will recognize your effort all the way you hope it would be. The thing is in every employer there is good and bad points so lived with it and try to better yourself with it. If things really is going against you then you might decide to leave the company its your to decide but expect to meet same situation in your career just avoid those mistakes you have experienced.

I know how you feel. But it all depends on you. Where does your heart belong or where do you think you will be happy working at? You should consider your family's needs or your needs. But beware, working abroad means more sacrifice but very rewarding. Well I wish you luck!

it's your choice girl..if you really need to work abroad, just give your self time to think because it's not that easy to work abroad specially your alone in that place, that you dont know the culture of that country..i think what you really need to do is ask some signs to God, that it gives you the decision of working abroad or not..prayers always can help us decide to difficult decisions, right..goodluck girl..

Working abroad is a tough decision girl.. But nowadays, lots of people go abroad because they wanted to have a good life and a good future for their family.. Because sometimes, we do lots of work but we only being pay less. That's makes us tired and think that we need to do something to make our life grow..

why not? that seems like a good idea you are young and you can see another country work there and make good money..i am for it try the u.s.a. or australia from experiance i know people are very satisfied there:)
