Korean Job Discussion Forums

Sooo my current job is more stressful everyday as my company loves to fire ppl. I am working in Australia and have been for a year now. I was promised an exciting position to do onsite inspections, site visits, liase at Council, design they way I want etc.....As of 3 months since they fired my working partner I have been confined to my desk hurrying applications and falling asleep on Autocad, with no liasing in my mind mut bitter arguements with Council and Government spurred on from my angry clients and boss pushing me to be the one having to do the ugly jobs. I am at breaking point, as I have been on here (this site) as a way to calm stress and cheer me up daily asking questions about going to live in Korea. Well I cant wait any sooner. My boss keeps telling me what the company is going to give me and promised a raise if I secure a client to $75,000 a year.

So what I am asking is I was planning to relocate to Korea around March next year? Has anyone run away from the pressures back home quickly and found it to be a good thing or is regret something that will follow me?

I keep dreaming of booking a flight to Taiwan or Korea that night and leaving before work.....

Anyone had these feelings and gone through with it?

My boss booked a holiday for me in Sydney for 5 days as I had a run in with the amount of work thrown at me. Though promises made of help with projects and different departments helping has never happened in 3 mths of hell


Actually I may have just come on here for a shoulder to lean on as I dont want to keep complaining to my gf as she wants me to get the hell out but the job market is scarce here and I would be flying to korea straight away and I dont want to regret or look weak....

This whole look weak etc towards my parents, friends and gf is this just my ego?

I always found that being in a job made it much easier to get other jobs, you look much more employable and your meeting people who are in the position to offer jobs in a better environment.

If your in a **** envoronment that makes you look bad like it seems you are in though those rules go out the window though.

The lead up to Christmas is usually a pretty bad time to get a new job in Australia but I have a friend here in Brisbane (engineer) who switched jobs (upgraded) and has had to turn down other offers..... maybe check out the Brisbane Job market.

Is Korea your end destination in mind?
Do you ever plan to come back to OZ, the ecconomy doesn't seem that bad and if your struggling to change jobs now I don't think a timeout would help.

It seems the wrong reason for leaving (the country not your job).

Edit: I would suggest thinking where you want to be in 10 years, if your fine with that being Korea then go for it.
