    I lived in Korea, Japan, Washington DC, and now San Francisco California. I'm now in my late 30s and had several jobs. Experiencing ups and downs from every country. Eastern Asia has the stigma of toxic work culture and it definitely is quite demanding compared to America. Ironically, I actually had the absolute worst job and best job in San Francisco meanwhile Korea was somewhere in the middle. Japan was the most difficult to adjust to because how demanding it is to conform to their societies expectations. Korea at least allowed you a bit more freedom to be yourself. However when I look back and I realize how much I do miss living in Korea and Japan.
    By the time I was in my mid thirties and living in Japan, I finally realized how to balance my work life and personal life. My hobbies, hiking, and few good friends really kept everything together. I still flew to Korea occasionally since it's a short flight. Finding your PERSONAL BALANCE is the key to everything where ever you live. I now live in San Francisco and I'm relatively happy but it's not easy living here either. It's far more expensive to live here compared to Tokyo or Seoul. There is no perfect place. No where. San Francisco has a lot of issues within the city itself but mentally i'm in a good place because my perspective on life itself has changed.
    This was your first job so don't be so hard on yourself. It's so rare for anybody that sticks with their first job. What's amazing about you is that you realized what you needed to do. Most people would be afraid to let go but you had the strength to do it. You're still fairly young so create new opportunities and memories. Whether you stay in Korea, or go back to Singapore, Hong Kong (I notice a lot of people saying you should move back), or a completely new country, just remember that you're naturally going to have struggles. So just hang in there and take it step by step and find something that allows you to find balance between all things in life. "It doesn't have to be TOO serious". Remember to laugh, cry, eat, slip, and love. Enjoy the whole process.

    Oh Sheren, this hit home for me because I had a very similar experience during my year working in Korea. I spent the entire year asking the same questions you asked here - "What if I had taken the job offer back home instead?" "What if I had never left Hong Kong?" You did the best you could to adapt to the situation and it is a sign of wisdom and strength to know when it's time to move on! I left my job in Korea nine months ago, and this month I finally received an offer for a dream job back home. You will get there too, it just takes time! Thank you for sharing; I'll definitely follow along for as long as you share your journey!

    Well, you gave it a shot and it didn't work out. It sucks but you shouldn't regret trying. Whatever choice you make in life there is always a "what if". You could have been in HK or anywhere else in the world and be wondering the same thing. The important thing is to reset yourself and comeback stronger than ever. We know you can! We are rooting for you.

    I found you a long time ago through your HK permanent residence card video (because I was also applying for mine at the time). You know what, I also handed in my resignation in early Aug! My last day will be Sept 6. After 3 years at this company I'm completely burned out and my health is starting to deteriorate, and I also don't have a new job lined up yet, so I know exactly the feeling of being lost and confused (and worried about finances). I'm glad we're both not alone in this. I'm sure we'll both figure it out eventually and have this just be another chapter of our lives ❤

    I have experienced in korean company, and it was my first job too... I can say that was so difficult for a person who starts work since of korean culture demand us as a fast worker-learner.. I'm pretty sure that you are also find many difficulities to adjust, moreover in Korea directly... So im so proud of your attainment and your presistence!! I believe you will find the better life's condition ahead, but first thing first is stay healthy please ❤

    I lived through the same thing, the part about how the thing we wanted the most and dreamed about turned to be one of the worst thing that has happened to me. You just feel a void inside. But you will find your way back to yourself and to simplest dream, there is no « dream » job, what we can focus and build is to crave out our happiness everyday. Take all your time you need to heal ❤❤❤

    • @sherendev
      @sherendev  หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      i totally agree - there's no dream job. i personally think that a job is a job i have to do, just because. it's kinda sad but i guess it's still manageable as long as i can find happiness outside the job :')
      thank you for writing this btw, i appreciate it so much! hope you're doing ok these days too.

    It's harder to quit a job for your wellbeing than to just stay there and be miserable. You've taken steps to build the best life for you. Just because you don't know where the next step goes, you know that the last step didn't work.
    I think your self awareness is something to be proud of. You've spotted what isn't good for you and changed it.

      hiii, thank you so much for this!! i feel like it’s so easy to feel like a failure especially when you just took a big step away from the life you thought you wanted. :’) and thanks for pointing out my self awareness - for a long time i’ve always considered it as one of my weakness. it’s nice to know that there’s other perspective to it.

      @@sherendev much easier to stay than proactively leave. If you're leaving a job with no forward plan, it wasn't right for you. In future if you have a partner, or kids, or buy a house, your freedom to leave may be less. So doing it now whilst you can is a good chance to escape from a career you don't want.

    Is okay just to quit a job, it is not the end of world, really (I'd experienced it also when I'm 40 and still now I can survived and have a new life and career) and now you are still younger than me... it's okay, don't push yourself too much, take time to relax, just breath in and out without burden. Nothing are perfect, life is just about up and down.

    I am a foreigner currently working in Korea as well and a westerner (which honestly makes it even harder to adjust to the work culture here) and I had the exact same experience. I quit my last company and the feeling was exactly the same - I felt like all the frustration from work and just bad feelings that were expressed to me were making me a bad person myself. Eventually, I found a new work place and I am the only foreigner in the company now and it’s so so so much better. It’s hard to find a good company and I think 8 months is a great achievement for such a struggle. You will find your place for sure :)
