Hi! My family and I are thinking to move to Kuala Lumpur. We are in the mid 30s with a 20 months old baby boy. My husband and I work as Scrum Masters in the IT industry, and we are looking for similar jobs in Kuala Lumpur. We are both Romanian and currently living in Barcelona (Spain).
Before deciding to take this big step, we'd want to know what to expect from life there. We have several questions and some concerns, we hope that somebody can throw some light on them. Having the young member in our family our main concern is the life-work balance.
- How many working days per week are in KL in an IT company and how many hours per day?
- Are the working hours flexible?
- How much annual vacation one can take?
- How difficult is to find a job as a Scrum Master, searching remotely from an European country?
- How difficult is to balance work and life with a toddler? Are the extra hours common? Is it hard to find time after work to spend with family?
- What about the safety?
