I recently moved back to Spain at 39 after living in the UK for about 12 years. I had planned to keep my UK job or at least continue with my company, but just before the move, they decided not to proceed with that, leaving me jobless upon my return. I relocated to a rural area for affordability and managed to buy a house, which I couldn't do in the UK, thinking I would work remotely. However, the job market here is quite limited, and finding a remote position has proven to be more challenging than I anticipated. I'm at a crossroads, contemplating whether to keep applying for jobs or to invest my time in building a specific skill that could enhance my employability. I'm considering options like learning GDS/Amadeus for roles in travel support, diving into Java/programming due to my interest in tech, or refining my approach to finding remote customer support or admin roles. I realize that programming isn't a quick fix, especially starting from scratch at my age, and a short course in GDS won't replace real experience. I'm looking for practical advice from anyone who has faced a similar situation of starting over in a new country or changing career paths later in life.
