Are you someone who has left their country of birth to move and settle somewhere else, or who is thinking of doing so in the future? What led you to take that decision, or what is making you consider it? What have your experiences been until now, and what do you expect and hope for in the future?
Poland, I presume?
I have put into consideration the idea of moving to an AES country myself, but the truth is that it’s a rather risky move if you live in the West. If you have higher education it can be an arduous process the one of convalidating your titulation there, and even if you achieve it, depending on your field, you could find yourself living in less than ideal conditions compared to the ones you could have in countries next door to yours: AES countries, particularly China, are doing an outstanding work at developing and granting its peoples better life standards faster than anyone else, but they still have a way to go.
If you are determined however, and especially if China seems to be one place where your profession can grant you a good life, then don’t let anyone stop you. If you still live with your parents, is there a chance you could save enough until you can safely leave for China yourself?
Although I find Poland fascinating for some reason, I’m actually from Bangladesh.
I’m studying CompSci (well my parents forced me to anyway, but I didn’t rebel much because I do have a wish to to develop games and softwares… though honestly I’d probably rather work in Psychology departments tbh), and I feel like tech companies in China are already full of Chinese Workers and they don’t need anymore. Also, you often hear stories about people going to East/Southeast Asian countries and ending up teaching English for a living.
During my freshman years, my (not very prestigious) uni gave us an offer about studying to China and apparently the Government of China would give you job opportunities and a place to live there. I was a lib at the time, so I didn’t take the opportunity. Dunno if that door is still open though. Even if it is, it sounds way too good to be true. Think about it, why would the Chinese Government even bother to give non-PRC citizens so many opportunities/benefits? Yeah they’re a Socialist country but I imagine socialist countries to give precedence to their own citizens first (idk why I think this).
If I do ultimately decide to go to China, I think I might be able to get them on board. I was talking about Central/Latin American countries when I said “I’d have a hard time convincing my parents”. But yeah, maybe I’ll be able to save enough if I combine my allowance and any part-time/freelancing jobs I take (if I do anyway), I’ll need to figure out/calculate the expenses and then some.
Latin America can be a good place to start a new life, especially in countries like Chile and Uruguay. That being said, I have always had the impression that Computer Science and other tech-related degrees are above average in opening you gates to a good life in other countries. This may be an uninformed opinion however, as I have never asked around much to people who are actually inside that world.
First and foremost it’s all about investigating if, aside from the overall quality of life that people have there, your destination is well-suited for you and how willing it is to accept and treat well specialists of your field of work. I considered moving to Norway per example, until I learned that they have an excess of professionals of my field, so I had to begin looking instead to countries around it.
