Hi guys,

My company requires me to move to Indonesia alone for a project for about 2 years. I have been working with this Japanese company for almost 10 years in Malaysia.
With my working wife and three small kids it is difficult for me to make this decision as lots of changes in our routine is required. My wife’s carrier as a doctor is also important and the kids are also so much attached to me.

On the other hand, the salary package is quite good to almost RM 30k/month.
Currently i have some properties/ savings and investments that can generate near to 10k in passive income every month.

I am 40 years old now. Im considering few options as below:

1. Make all adjustments & Just go and work as its difficult to get this earning opportunity again
2. Retire, take some rest, focus on family,figure out and venture into some new business
3. Take a carrier break. Look for other jobs later.

What’s your opinion?

Does the job package also include your kids go to international school ?
Housing allowance?
Moving allowance?

If yes, then by all means take it !!!

Ask your wife to take a short break and follow you with the kids lah.

hmm not so good lah.

you some more have to arrange your kids punya education and indon schools not so good unless private which is more expensive.

machiem nii, cannot reject offer and remain in your current role meh?

I think 40 yo still can get jobs outside.

but try to fight to remain in current role while looking for job outside.
