2 factors that are important to me when choosing my education and career path.

Case Study Part 2: Vietnam has been attracting foreign investors to set up their companies. However, one of the main struggles that foreign investors face is the language barrier. In Sasha’s third year, her company recognised her prior experience working with partners from Vietnam and her ability to lead a team. Sasha’s company decided to give her the opportunity to be stationed in Vietnam for two years to lead a team to explore how they can modify their existing tools to help the locals harness technology to learn English. Sasha felt that this would be a good opportunity for the company to expand and for her team to help solve the struggle that foreign investors are currently facing in Vietnam. Sasha would be given additional overseas allowance and accommodation for the two years and possibly a promotion if she could manage the project well. Aware that this is a male-dominated industry, Sasha was glad that her abilities were recognised and she was given this opportunity to lead. While this is an excellent opportunity for her to progress in her career, Sasha is still unsure if she wants to leave her family and friends.

If I were Sasha, I would initially choose freelance app development to balance caregiving responsibilities while gaining relevant experience. However, once my mother recovered, I would transition to a full-time role to secure long-term career growth, stability, and access to larger, more impactful projects. Given the opportunity presented by the influx of tech companies in Singapore, I would seize the chance to work in a structured environment where I could refine my technical skills, collaborate with diverse teams, and build a strong professional network. This decision would align with my values of challenge, achievement, and lifestyle while ensuring continuous personal and professional development.

# data[].attributes.body
In making this decision, I considered Sasha’s family responsibilities, as she initially needed flexibility to care for her mother, making freelance work a suitable choice. However, career growth and experience were also crucial, and while freelancing helped her gain skills, a full-time job offered more significant projects and long-term development. Financial stability played a key role, as full-time employment provided a steady income compared to the uncertainty of gig work. Additionally, industry trends favored her transition, with tech companies relocating to Singapore, presenting strong job opportunities. Sasha’s work values—challenge, achievement, and lifestyle—aligned with structured employment that allowed professional growth while maintaining balance. Finally, networking and collaboration were important, as a full-time role enabled her to work with a team, build connections, and leverage her prior experience. Considering these factors, transitioning from freelancing to a full-time job was the best choice for her long-term success.

Sasha can overcome these challenges through a combination of strategic planning, skill development, and leveraging her support network. To address difficulty in finding a job due to lack of experience, she can continue freelancing, take on personal projects, and build a strong portfolio showcasing her skills. For balancing caregiving responsibilities, she can establish a structured routine, seek support from family members, and use remote work opportunities where possible. To tackle financial instability in the early stages of freelancing, she can manage her expenses carefully and take up short-term gigs while securing long-term projects. Workplace anxiety as the only female in her team can be overcome by building confidence, seeking mentorship, and engaging in professional development programs. Lastly, to strengthen career growth and networking, she can actively participate in industry events, collaborate with international teams, and continuously upgrade her technical skills to remain competitive in the job market.
