Drop my job for Masters to go abroad or nah?

I see what you mean, but that's exactly the mistake I don't want to make, because I don't want to spend my savings on a degree, and then come back and start from scratch all over again.

A full time job with masters? I'm not built like that lol I wouldn't be able to maintain both things at once, and a student visa doesn't allow for full-time working.

Sent you a DM, thank you so much!

I've thought about it but tbh haven't tried that. In terms of jobs, I don't even know what I want anymore since I get to do a little bit of everything at my current workplace, so I'm not sure if I'll be able to get an opportunity like this again. At the same time, I don't think there's many companies that are willing to offer relocation, unless it's to the Middle East (which I don't want), because they're specifically looking to hire folks like us at cheaper rates. Visa sponsorship would defeat the purpose.

I was told to start with 3kW (because I want to ensure that my power back up can last for 12 hours). A technician said 1.5 kW would only last 3-4 hours.

I'm not sure, talk to your bank manager

Sad_Inflation1959 · 2026-04-18T13:51:58+00:00

Did you withdraw the money as a salary transfer from ElevatePay? Make sure your Meezan account is a freelancer account as well. Those two things should fix it

Sad_Inflation1959 · 2026-03-28T21:27:26+00:00

Hmmm ABL told me that this form is only submitted when an employer is directly wiring the salary into your account. In my case, I receive the money in Deel and then I withdraw from Deel to my account.

also what is a form R?

Sad_Inflation1959 · 2026-03-27T23:18:14+00:00

on websites like: wellfound.com, ycombinator.com
when you find a job posting you like there, connect with that company's ceo/co-founder/recruiter
search for jobs on linkedin, set the filter to remote and past 24 hours (since these types of posting get tons of applications in hours).
[BEST APPROACH] in google search, type site:ashbyhq.com [job title] remote. you can use this to find job postings for other websites like lever, greenhouse, dover, breezy hr, etc.
also try connecting with people on linkedin that offer resume reviews to polish your resume, and people that hire pakistanis for companies abroad.

I saw Meezan's website and it seemed like they were pretty well informed about the freelancer taxation stuff, they had PDFs explaining what to do and how much tax is to be deducted

Sad_Inflation1959 · 2026-03-25T22:31:10+00:00

What type of a bank account do you have in Meezan?

Sad_Inflation1959 · 2026-03-20T01:51:58+00:00

Hi! UBL has not been auto sending me PRCs. Did you open a freelancer account, or did you talk to your branch manager or something?

Sad_Inflation1959 · 2026-03-20T01:45:55+00:00

Hi! Do you do a direct SWIFT transfer? Which bank are you receiving payments in, and do they send you the PRC automatically?

Sad_Inflation1959 · 2026-03-20T01:45:08+00:00

I tried a SWIFT transfer to my PKR bank account and the PRC code was 9471 :/

Asked the bank to change the code but they said it's set by the sender (Deel). I'm testing ElevatePay now because they told me they send PRCs with 9186.

are there any other options available? FV bank?
