When you prepared for overseas education, did your coaching institute offer any guidance on managing homesickness or loneliness? Similarly, as a professional heading abroad for work, were you provided with training to navigate the challenges of living and working in a foreign country?
I certainly didn't. When my company first sent me to the UK and later to South Africa, I had to navigate everything myself. Most companies provide a basic HR orientation covering practicalities such as getting a bus pass, budgeting, and finding affordable groceries. However, they rarely address the aspects that truly impact the quality of life-dealing with racism, adhering to workplace etiquette, dressing smartly, or practising proper table manners. From understanding cultural nuances to coping with loneliness at weekends and overcoming culture shock, I had to learn everything through trial and error. That's what inspired me to put together this guide, as the things I went through were valuable lessons I wanted to share.
Living abroad can be an extraordinary journey, offering a better quality of life, unparalleled career growth, and opportunities to broaden your horizons. But what about the weekends when the novelty wears off and the realities of being far from home sink in? What about the subtle differences in workplace culture or the unspoken rules of social etiquette? Navigating these challenges without proper preparation can feel overwhelming.
