You never really know what it’s going to be like until you spend some time there, and some countries are really hard to break into. Personally, I try for a year before really deciding. I’m possibly older, however, I rarely move somewhere just for money these days, I find these type of decisions have always been the worst ones, and moving for culture/experience my best expat experiences.

Tough situation, and I had something very similar, however, with an EU passport as well, so not the visa issues… May not work for you, but what I did was go home for 6 months - some work pre-arranged for when I got there, then managed to arrange some remote work while there (lesser money) which enabled me to come back to Europe. Regardless, hope it works out for you.
