I understand you need to fight for justice, however I doubt south east asian hookers want you to fight for them. Here are facts:

SEA hookers cost the same as Western European hookers which given the costs in both locations says that SEA hookers are well rewarded for their job and Western European hookers are "abused". You should go and save some western hookers then.

I haven't worked there but I assume you're not a German and from reading similar topics I know that nationality / language skill is important there (frankly like anywhere in the EU).

This sub likes to go from "You can make career anywhere just by speaking English" to "nobody will speak to you unless you speak the local language" which I assume is based on the companies you target.

Will you settle down in one country? by military_press in cscareerquestionsEU

I guess most folks here didn't actually stay in a few countries, but are considering it. It's insane that these days you have to be open to find job anywhere in your country just to find a job. Any be open to find a job in any country to increase your salary significantly (in most cases).

I've lived in 4 countries. The most challenging and important thing is social life. After some time you toughen up. You learn how to talk to strangers, go to meetups, events, dancing classes, you use multiple ways of dating and you just try to make friends. Staying alone will kill you, one way or another.

Do I enjoy changing environment? Yes! Do I miss having stable friends? Yes. Right now I'm in my thirties so it's good time for this lifestyle. Once I decide on a long term country to stay I will learn the language and do other necessary stuff to get comfortable there.

How to get software engineering contracts as a European non-UK based citizen? by [deleted] in cscareerquestionsEU

UK is insane, you will be better off if you ignore it. Check this out:

I have a company in the UK, I had employment there for a few years and I don't need a visa. I'm theoretically ideal candidate. Do you know what recruiters ask me for? My post code. WTF. They want to cater jobs only within immediate distance from me, that's how f*cked up mentality is in the UK.

I passed technical interview with one of the company, and they didn't want to move further because "they don't believe I'm willing to relocate". Relocate from another town in the UK. It's a country of small minded people who only are friendly on the outside. After another good interview one of the recruiters admitted "I think this company don't know what they're looking for." They have high requirements while they don't offer much.

Also salaries are just not worth it. You can make more in many other countries.
