A year ago, I moved to the suburbs of Saigon from NY to work remotely. My cost of living is 1000usd</month + rent, utilities, food, motorbike/gas, etc. While my savings have improved, I do miss socializing with other developers which in turn creates future opportunities. The isolation is great if you're looking to work in a distraction free environment and relax.

I'm a bit torn as I consider myself a mid-level developer at 7 years of experience. At the moment, I'm looking to relocate anywhere to be surrounded with senior engineers who can push me to the next level.

With that being said, I'll probably go back to the remote life when I feel more comfortable with my skills.
