Hi everyone,
I’m at a crossroads and could use some advice. I just graduated from university with a major in Computer Science, and my dad has helped me secure a job in our home country. While I’m grateful for the opportunity, I’m worried about how this might impact my long-term career prospects.
My concern is that working in my home country, rather than starting my career in the West (like Canada), could make it harder for me to transition back later. My dad’s point is valid—there’s no guarantee I’ll land a job in Canada soon, especially since I don’t have previous co-op experience. I completely understand where he’s coming from, but I can’t shake the fear of getting stuck working in my home country.
For context, I’d ideally like to work in software engineering, and I’m unsure whether starting in my home country will set me back compared to starting here in Canada, even if it means waiting longer to secure a role.
I’m stuck with what to do and I would love some advice.
