Did I make the screw myself over by going to uni in Bangkok?
Continuing the title, it’s always been on my mind that I’d move back to the US one day but will I be able to?
I’m Thai-American. I spent high school in Bangkok and didn’t want to go back to the US for college. I was a dumb, lazy, privileged kid that didn’t think about the after.
I’m finishing my second year of university in Bangkok and I feel like I made the worst decision possible everyday. I’m not incredibly worried about job prospects but the salary *significantly* lower here. MBB has the highest salary for new grads by a long shot and it’s like $60k USD *max*. I don’t know how relocation works and I’d assume that it’s difficult to transfer to the US (LA, where I grew up) from Thailand.
I thought about “what if I apply to US jobs straight up” but why would they hire me? They wouldn’t know the university I was at, and there’s tons of applicants there already. I don’t have ‘connections’ there either. I can’t go to anything that requires me to be there in-person as well.
