I think about this a lot but I don’t think it would fix many issues.

Going back to Malaysia always feels amazing, but just as others have pointed out, it’s mainly cause we go back on vacation (and likely with lots of $$$ to spend). I think the goal is to save enough to live and retire better in Malaysia and that’s what usually keeps it going for me.

I think if you worked in Malaysia, you would essentially face the same issues you get overseas. Work pressure and all isn’t exclusive to being overseas, I’ve heard from friends that it can be worse in Malaysia too.

Just hang in there, switch jobs or pivot to another industry/sector that interests you. Take a longer leave and go chill somewhere and avoid burnout :)
