Re: Moving back to Pakistan . .
first i have many family members & friends who moved back in last 10 years from North America & Europe. All of them are doing great except 2 families, well they have their own specific reason none of it is related to law/order & finance.
one of my best friend who with myself graduated around same time made a career choice he move back home and now he is regional manager portfolio at Barclay Pakistan, oki i didn’t do bad either but given all the bad news came from Pak 24/7 - i was actually happy and shocked at the same time about his achievement in few years. same is true for all the friends in schools who stay back, majority of them are doing well. Pakistan provide you with best jobs and pay if you have skills for it.
unfortunately most of the expats have expectations over the head when they want to make a move, which Pakistan can’t provide well not even in next 50 years.
i have conversation with some people regarding never going back to Pak, they have some valid reasons - but most of them just don’t wanna go back for one reason: stability. i mean when you are close to 40s, you don’t have energy to take risks such as move to new country with grownup kids.
as far i am concern, i am in New York but it always felt like a temporary stop and it is - i have more stakes in Pakistan then living here. In New York, i am just working my ass of to pay bills and that’s all. Being in Pakistan i can payback in terms of technical/management skills, start a VC .. i mean opportunities are endless which can actually help in making difference in the life’s of ordinary people which definitely Pakistan require.
in the end for haters, country is like a mother you can hate her, but can’t leave her - when she is sick, you take her to doctor - when she is old and doing bad, you try to help her - that’s what Pakistan require today - Pakistan is on her knees - she requires her sons & daughters to take care of her.
