There is a price of living and a price of your own value (your soul). How can you sell your soul out for a job ? Happiness is huge . . . go where your heart directs you and happiness will surround you...even if you have less 'things / toys' in life.

I think it would depend on how long you've been there. If you have not been at that job for an extended period of time, the home sickness might surpass. If that is the case I would give it some time for you to adjust. It's a lot to move to a new country, take on a new job, and leave your friends and family in one fail swoop. However, If you have been there for an extended period of time and are still homesick, although you might be turning up the opportunity of a lifetime, I would come back home...I'm sure you could find an equally adequate salary where you are from! I hope this helps!!!

As a person who gets the least amount of pay for the job they do I will tell you life is not all about money. You need to do what is going to make you happy. What good is being a millionaire if you are working every day in misery? I love the fact that I get up and want to go to work everyday. It feels great to work with people I enjoy and have a little less to spend but true happiness comes from friendships and health not money.
My advise (assuming you have givin this new place a real try; a few months) go home it's the only thing that would make my life even better but until the military is done with my hubby I must wait.
Enjoy life emotionally as well as physically.

You used the word "severe" in describing your home sickness and that concerns me. With that word it shows you can't possibly enjoy the good salary with the sacrifice you've had to make in your heart. Is it possible to stay long enough to make a few phone calls back home and try to line something up (at least an interview or two) before you go home? I guess my answer to you is to follow your instincts and heart and they are telling you to leave. My only contradiction would be this: have you given it enough "adjustment time?" Perhaps you need to settle in a little bit and give yourself time to cultivate some friends. If you have already tried that, I think it will be difficult to function with a broken heart, missing your home that much. Good luck.

Try to stick around a few more days. I was in the same predicament a while ago. New jobs can be very frustrating at first, so just give it some time before you make that drastic move. You might end up likeing it and realize that it was the best decision you've made. If that doesnt happen, then you can always move back. Either way, good luck ^_^

Depends what you mean by home sickness. If you make good enough money, you should be able to fly back from time to time so I wouldn't worry about it. Home sickness usually wears off after a while anyway. Plus you don't want to appear wishy-washy to any future employers by leaving your job right away. Stick it out for a year and then reassess. You have your whole life in front of you.

Give yourself more time. With all the electronic communication devices these days along with IMing and email, stay in frequent touch with friends and family back home. If the money is so good with this new job, give it six months to a year, and meanwhile make new friends at work and in your community.

You haven't said how long it's been. Have you given it enough time? Are you trying to make new friends? Happiness is more important than salary, but give yourself time to adjust. Maybe plan a visit home and return before you decide.

No, what would be the reason you would give your current employer for leaving the job? "I miss my mommie?" A reason like that won't look good as far as a job recommedation in the future. I suggest you find ways to stick it out in your current position. Stop dwelling on missing home and discover things you enjoy about your new home. Cultivate new friendships by joining a place of worship, a gym, take evening courses at a local college, learn a new hobby. By doing so you won't have time to be homesick and will begin making where you are now your home.

You didn't say how long you've been at theis new job. You should give it a chance; I'd say maybe six months. You need time to make new friends and aquaint yourself with new customs to feel that you are "at home". If, after this time, you still feel homesick, come on home. Remember, "there is no place like home".

You can visit them from time to time. Just save up for awhile and keep yourself busy with your job so that you will not be tempted to do something your wife will hate you. When you think you have enough, go home and start up a small business. what country are you working at right now by the way? email me
