Life in the states
Hi, I am a software engineer by profession and I have lived in the states for 6 years.
For me, it basically boils down to the economic argument. If you are not making enough money wherever you are right now, chances are you will be better off in the US.
If you are making enough money where you are, are you willing to leave your family, friends and favorite mamak stall behind in search of better job opportunities?
The decision was pretty obvious for me. Job opportunities in the software industry in the US is way better than in Malaysia, which is why I packed my bags, left for the states and said good bye to tanah tumpahnya darahku, lol.
