We break down the advantages and challenges of both paths, from the financial appeal of overseas jobs to the long-term career benefits of gaining local experience early on.

This episode helps fresh graduates make a thoughtful, realistic decision based on their skills, goals, financial situation, and long-term plans—ensuring they choose a path that sets them up for success, whether at home or abroad.
