Key factors to look out for when you intend to relocate for a job?

Context: I don’t intend to stay in my current country - am based in Asia, and with a background in digital, but moving towards a mix of brand and that. I’m kinda stuck - in a sense that if I’m looking at China, digital in a way is sorta useless because a local junior would probably have more cultural context/insights. Stuff like that. Thoughts appreciated!

I’ve been meaning to mention to my grandfather for a while that I have a boyfriend but I don’t want to make it like a dramatic coming out and it just hasn’t come up naturally. I haven’t seen my grandfather in person in over 2 years and I’ve been dating my boyfriend for over a year.

My immediate family already knows as well as my grandmother from the other side who lives with them. Should I just keep waiting for it to naturally come up or should I have an intentional conversation about it?
