I have always dreamt of living abroad. A few years in Europe, and then APAC. Transfer plans fell through with covid, and I’m pretty sure they will be delayed due to Delta. Turning 25 this month and feel like that dream is getting farther away. I’ve always been ambitious, but as I’m getting older I’ve realized traveling and exploring other cultures is what truly makes me happy and that’s what I want to use my career in tech to fund. I know this is a first world problem, but has anyone done this?

So many people I know (including myself) have put in their 2 weeks notice and are switching companies/firms (across various industries). People seem extra miserable at their jobs right now and idk if it’s mainly due to COVID or employers just overworking and undervaluing their employees more than before. Anyone noticed and/or feel the same way or am I just seeing this because I’ve been in school my whole life and this is my first “real” job?
