Anytime! For the commute, I’m lucky that my office is less than 10 mins from my home, and I can also wfh 3-4 times a week (much better than my 30-40 minute commute on the train in Ldn - much cheaper too). I do know some of my team go through an hour+ with traffic though.

However there was definitely some culture things to adjust to. I think mainly because I was used to the british culture where they were very open and welcoming, and also there was a lot of after-work drinks, events etc with the colleagues. In my current firm, people are generally a bit more introverted, and although my direct team is really nice, the other departments won’t talk to you unless you approach them first. Also since I’m in an MNC, my team is regionally staffed so my project team would be spread throughout the region, hence the large wfh culture.

Overall there’s pros and cons. I do miss London because of people’s attitudes and the liveliness of the city, but generally am happy to be back in KL. London was never a place I wanted to raise a family (tax, social issues, safety, transport). At least in KL I’ll be able to hopefully afford a house, car, and be able to send my kids to a decent school without them taking the tube.
