DISADVANTAGES OF WORKING ABROAD?
Adaptation.
At first, you will need to adapt to a new lifestyle, a new location and environment, as well as a different climate.
As a rule, the adaptation period takes about two weeks.
In the first few days, you may feel a desire to return home, but this is a normal part of adaptation.
Try to stay positive and avoid jumping to conclusions.
Work Aspects.
A different country means different rules, requirements, and work specifics that may differ from what you are used to.
You may need time to get used to the establishment's rules and the local mindset. Be prepared for this, especially if this is your first job abroad.
High Cost of Living.
If you convert the prices of products and services, including medical care, into your home currency, it may seem quite expensive. However, do not forget that you also earn much more, and the price-to-salary ratio is entirely reasonable. Therefore, a quick piece of advice: do not compare living costs with the prices in your home country.
Nostalgia / Homesickness.
We all miss our loved ones, especially if we are not used to being away from them for long.
Of course, today there is the Internet, WhatsApp, Telegram, social networks, and many other apps that make communication easier. Still, face-to-face interaction is hard to replace.
Religion.
Do not forget that you may go on a contract to a country with a different religion, which leaves its mark on social rules of conduct and appearance. You must respect and follow the generally accepted cultural norms of the host country.
Cuisine.
You should be prepared for the local cuisine abroad to differ from your usual dishes. However, this is a great opportunity to try something new and discover the gastronomic traditions of another country.
In addition, almost every country has stores where you can buy familiar products and ingredients to cook your favorite home meals.
These are just a few conditional "disadvantages" of living and working abroad.
Undoubtedly, each of you will find your own point to add to this list.
