BIO: Nesli Girgin is a content creator and expert in marketing campaigns, product introduction, and visibility.

STORY: Nesli got an offer to move from Istanbul to New York to work for a multinational company. The United States immigration office needed one year of residence payments for her to move. The company only paid three months of residence and disappeared on her. Nesli had made some payments in anticipation of the move. She lost this money.

LEARNING: Be patient and kind to yourself even when things don’t turn out as you hoped they would. Bad things happen for a reason, and they may change the direction of your life.

Worst investment ever

Nesli had to quit her job to take care of her sick mom. She started some work-from-home business projects. She would receive job offers from recruiters, and one offered her a job at a multinational company in New York. The company invited Nesli to live in New York. She was excited about this opportunity because she’d always dreamed of living in New York. They discussed everything, and Nesli signed agreements.

Nesli started the immigration procedures, and the United States immigration office requested her for one year of residence payments. The company only paid three months of residence. Nesli tried her best to reach the HR teams, she wrote many letters to them, but unfortunately, they didn’t complete the rest of the payments. Eventually, she decided to stop trying to go to New York. Nesli had already made some payments in anticipation of her move. She ended up losing this money.
