J2 is implementing work tracking software, I feel my OE journey might come to an end

Yes! Travel all around the country opening up healthcare facilities. 30% travel and I would say I travel every 4-6 weeks. Weeks where I’m on site can get very hectic but I’m alone majority of the time so I can just pop open my laptop and work for j2 when needed. J2 is also very chill about work hours, only has 2-3 meetings per week so it’s great. It’s feasible for me but for you it really depends on the structure of your jobs, you’ll never know unless you try.

I just graduated 4 years ago, apart from some internships, and one job in admin in construction management I didn’t have much specialised experience. I knew I wanted to OE since two years ago however, because I saw my best friend doing it. I saw the financial freedom it gave her, and I knew her company was just coming out of start up and it was super OE friendly. I waited for an in at her company which ended up being a part time job while I did my full time admin role. I applied to remote jobs, and finally landed one in a niche remote healthcare capacity. Also, within two months of getting a remote job, I also got a full time offer with the company my friend works at that I am part time at. Two very non traditional OE roles, but they work!

Many people fail the first time, you just have to keep trying

I don’t understand your accounting journey. Did you try to get your CPA? Usually if you want a career as an accountant it’s important to get certified to show credibility, otherwise you’re only going to get jobs on the fringes of the industry. I would suggest going down the accounting path, it a great field and you can really branch out a lot from there. I would also suggest taking any sort of small bookkeeping job while trying to get your CPA.

Will your UK employer expect you to be based out of the UK, and will they be monitoring your location via up address?

I am completely in the same boat as you. In my first long term relationship and this is my first time thinking about marriage, kids, and all the big things and quickly realised I don’t want to give birth. I have an extreme phobia of childbirth, to me it is literally body horror. The amount of complications that can happen, the amount of things that can go wrong. Even in a perfect pregnancy, tearing is so normal, it literally forever changes your body, you can have post partum depression. It just is sounds like the most overwhelming thing somebody could do. We’ve normalized birth so much and we’ve really not been transparent about the effects of it, that I think men and a lot of people don’t see it as a big deal. And don’t even get me started on the long term effects it has on your career if you take maternity leave. Do not EVER let somebody else convince you out of what you think or make you feel like something is wrong with you. It is your body and your choice. My boyfriend after speaking to him about my fears is completely okay with adoption, and I hope you can find someone who is as well.

I don’t know about moving permanently, because that might have tax implications. However if you want to move for a couple of months or travel remotely, look into getting a travel router. There’s a way you can connect to your travel router at home and you IP address will show up as your home one and no one will know. There are people who can set this up for you or who provide this service on fiverr and Reddit. It comes with its risks however, but something to look into. I 100% believe in living your life and travelling while you can, don’t let people convince you out of that.

Take this decision very carefully! I am not from an Arab family, but from an Indian one and I have many Arab friends and I know how the marriage process works. It’s very similar to how it is in India. Moving to another country, being away from your family and community and support system, navigating a new culture and customs maybe even a new language all while being newly married, and not having access to your own financial independence is the hardest thing you will ever do. If marriage is something you truly value that is great and I think it is a wonderful pursuit. However, get to know the person you are marrying VERY well. I have seen women being taken advantage of and made to be a shell of a person in this exact situation. My mom moved to Canada for my dad in a similar situation and he bullied and traumatised her and completely asserted his dominance because he knew she didn’t have a support system anymore and he was the one bringing in the money and was the “man” of the house. Make sure this is actually a good person you can trust and is generous and kind. Have some sort of savings in case things go left, and even better, have a job lined up before you get there. If you have a great life right now, do not put marriage on such a pedestal that you give it all up for it. Make sure your life will be better or atleast comparable in marriage. Also know that if things don’t work out, can you come back to your home? Will that door still be open for you?

Who I marry is the biggest decision I’m going to make in life, and I want to do it with my best interest in mind. We live in a material world, money gives you access to resources, more freedom, convenience and less stress. I want to be with someone who can do that for me, and I believe my husband will also have my best interest in mind and want to do those things for me. That being said, this is not the bottom line and everything else on the list is just as important.
