I would then take time to find a remote company which to some degree would align with my moral values. I would not need to rush to keep working in the automobile industry, but instead would try to get in somewhere where they would need my experience and work with renewable energy or smart grids or something similar. For that I would probably need to spent some time doing some courses on that topic and educate myself so I’m employable. The 80k would give me that possibility.

(My case is rather specific that I also need a work visa sponsor to be able to stay in Korea, so that makes it much more difficult.)
