Hey everyone,
need some advice - I’d like to move back to Qatar, just feel really homesick - I was born and raised there, now in Toronto. I used to feel homesick now and then, and thought it’ll get better but it’s not. I’ve been living and working in Toronto for the past 5 years, and I’m satisfied with my life here, just not fully happy. Need advice from people out there what the current market is like, in consulting or supply chain industry. Thank you

It’s gonna be tough for you to feel home unless you find satisfaction inwardly. I suggest you spend time searching for what you really like + goals, and really pursue that. This is doing the same thing, expecting a diff result kinda thing— you don’t be that person

Don’t want to work without getting paid unless the experience is valuable. Would love any perspective on this.

Wow…covid is really over. I live in a rural area where we knew covid was happening but it never really impacted the community or daily life. However when I’d go into the city it was very very obvious there were huge life impacts and fear. I just went into the city for the first time in about 3 months and it’s like covid never happened. It makes me wonder how many other things that have drastically changed (like wfh and hand sanitizer) will go back to normal as people go back to normal.
