This is probably a common post, and I apologize if so. I did do some searches and didn't find exactly the kind of info I'm looking for.
I'm a senior level software engineer at a large US company. I spent a month working in KL earlier this year and decided I really want to try being there longer, like a year or two, or more?
Unfortunately my current employer said "no" when I proposed it, even though there is an office in KL.
So, I'm thinking I might resign from my job here in the US. I just need something to do while I'm in KL. I'm not even sure I want to stay in tech...I might rather not actually. I'm pretty tired of being in meetings talking about software and hardware.
I'm trying to think of what other options I can come up with. Maybe even volunteer (or nearly volunteer) options? Non-profits? Something maybe even a little bit "fun and rewarding"?
I guess the "Best" option would be to find a remote job in the US that doesn't care where I am. Maybe I can find some sort of "easy gig" that would be enough to "pay the bills".
Thoughts?
Edit:
I would ideally be living in Cyberjaya or Putrajaya areas
I’ve also seen the DE Rantau Nomad Pass. But I think in my case I would need to be a freelancer since I would not be coming in employed? But if I was in a position with a US company, working remote, and they don’t care where. I think that would then work?
There is also a “someone” that is the biggest reason I want to get back to KL.
