If you don't mind, how has the seeking help fare? I'm interested for my own situation.

It was a good decision for me. But I'm still in a process of learning to love myself and it's a hard task to complete. I understand now that I should value the opinion of people that trully cares about me. But what I think is more important.

I'm from PH. Email me your résumé if you still need help. I can also send you food for the holidays.

May I know what these eng message boards are? :D

Sorry, out of topic. May I know what's your definition of success? I've been doing software development for 10 years but success seems to be always on the horizon.

If you don't mind, which country did you come from and immigrated to? :)

Sure! France -> Canada

Sorry if this is inappropriate. Are you hiring native Android+iOS developer? :)

Not inappropriate - but no not currently. We're a Marketing agency that also does custom WordPress dev. We're working towards diversifying a bit by also launching some internally owned monetized content sites or small software products (such as a useful paid plugin for WordPress) but that's about it at the moment.

If you don't mind and sorry for being insensitive, why can't you just quit?

May I know what your dissertation was? :)
