Hey everyone,

I’m a 22M British BSc graduate (studied data science degree at a London uni). I’m currently working in data and considering relocating from the UK for the long-term, ideally to Malaysia, Singapore or Vietnam.

This would be for the long-haul rather than a short stint. I’d be looking to eventually establish permanent residency (not necessarily right away). I would love some advice or to connect with those with similar goals as me. Some specific questions

1. How feasible it is for a young professional in data/tech to find work there

2. Any advice on visas, residency, or pathways to PR

3. Would a master's degree assist or hamper my relocation goal?

4. How much money should I have saved up for this goal?

5. Any questions I need to ask myself, some introspection required to ensure that I make the correct decision.

Hi all,

I left a volunteer role under a narcissistic leader about 5 months ago. When I first tried to quit, he refused to accept it and tried to guilt-trip/command me to stay. I eventually went fully No Contact and blocked him on WhatsApp, phone, and email about a month ago after he reached out again trying to reel me back in.

Even though I’ve been away for months and he hasn't physically shown up at my house or stalked me and he hasn't tried contacting me with alternate phone numbers or email addresses, I’ve been feeling incredibly shaken up and paranoid lately. He lives in the same general area, and I find myself constantly looking over my shoulder or planning "stealth" routes to avoid a random encounter in public.

Does the paranoia usually spike once you go totally No Contact? How do you deal with the fear of "bumping into them" when you live in the same region? I feel like I should be over this by now, but the anxiety is hitting me harder today than it did the day I walked out.

Any support is much appreciated
