I came to a country to find a job, I found it, but housing was difficult so the owner of the company helped me with accomodations for 1 month. I found a place of my own right after one month. The thing is: I don’t want to stay in the job (after two months) and in the country, for several reasons. Should I be clear that I am not enjoying the job? Or should I blame the country and avoid being sincere since they helped me? I just don’t want to sound like a bad person.

    First of all, bad person? You want what you want and you don’t owe your happiness or health to a job. So don’t think of it in that terms

    Then as an immigrant myself with an organization that hired a lot internationals, it’s really common for people not to want to stay or be unhappy with an international move. It’s hard to know if you’ll like a place and it’s a lot harder than most people expect to change countries.

    Anyway, I’d just re look at your contract, sometimes you have to pay back moving expenses if you don’t stay x amount of months, things like that, but they will be explicitly stated if it’s the case.

    All that said, I know for the first 6 months I really struggled with my new city but after that I really loved where I lived and my new country. So I’d consider if maybe you are just temporarily unhappy because so much has changed. Not to stay you must stick it out but it’s something to consider, I don’t think the first few months are easy for anyone
