I'd be frankly impressed if it's a troll - honestly looks and smells like a millennial snowflake.

Not that hard to imitate though

Not sure I agree - the stereotype is so strong that most trolls would overplay their hand, which would become obvious very quickly to we cynical bastards. This one appears to have such a strong and earnest belief in his own importance that it's hard to pick.

Those of you with 5+ years work experience working in Cambodia, do you not get paid less than you would back in your home country? Why do you take a pay cut to live somewhere most people would hate to live? Not trying to bash anyone lifestyle, I am curious.

Many people take a cut in salary to work in places like Cambodia, because they feel their expertise will help make a difference to the society in which they work, its not so much as what you earn as what you can achieve in improving conditions for others. Depending on ones experience and resources it could be something small or something large. I came here over 20 years ago because I was asked to help role out the first health coverage plan. I could have earned more in Australia, but for me the privilege of working here was an opportunity not to be missed and the experience was priceless.

I like living in Phnom Penh, for many reasons, good restaurants, good wine, nice living spaces, and until recently ease of getting around the city. When I cease to like it I'll go somewhere else.

Yep, but doesn't hurt to ask.

Yeah, but only if it appears near the top of page 1 of his poorly-formed Google search.

To be honest, that's what his culture has told him that he as a precious snowflake can demand - doesn't know any better.

Guys, we were having a civil conversation and I was being respectful(Still have been pretty respectful), up until John Bingham posted that on another website I said "not to offend anybody but I heard all expats are bums"

Then you all got your panties in a bundle being offended by a stereotype and say I was being arrogant simply because I stated my education level you guys assumed to be bragging just because I said it and asked what my education/experience is worth in Cambodia.

StroppyChops for one I am not mid to upper class my family income is below 30k, but I get max financial aid from school because my family is low income so I am privileged for being eligible for financial aid. Also you said
"you do not have the capacity to hear, understand, or accept criticism or correction" I have actually listened multiple times, but you are the one who refuses to see that I have listened. that, the whole question I asked was "What is my employability in Cambodia?" And I have listened to you guys and understand that it's very small and only for bad jobs.

I don't know why you all are calling me a snowflake and saying I can't take criticism, what can I not take criticism about? I can't accept that I am arrogant?

Stroppy chops said it's that "just as you're incapable of understanding how your utter arrogance has stirred up so much negative attention in this thread." Like I said before it was a civil conversation until Bingham posted how I said I heard all Cambodian expats were bums.

Some of you guys posts are straight up attacking me, like stroppychops is just trying to offend me. Stroppychops is triggered. Like yea in the real world if I tell someone a stereotype they may get offended because they are snowflakes, so I shouldn't state stereotypes.

I don't know how you guys are straight up attacking/roasting me, then call me the troll? All the attacking I ever did was tell people I was surprised they were so offended by a stereotype. I haven't gone after anybody here personally, but you all have been going after my personality trying to insult me and say I am being the unprofessional one? Username taken is so unprofessional he revealed where I live? I thought you said you were leaving/done with this discussion Username Taken but you come back to tell everyone where I live?


And yes my sleep schedule is the most messed up in years, it's not normal for me to stay up until 3am.

it is a shit place to work.
the money is low, and most employers are monkeys, the barang arguably the worst of all.
why not get an insurance adjuster's license ( 40 hrs online training ) and work a few hurrricanes and just spend time in cambodia?
you are in the perfect place for it and it pays unbelievably well.
season will fire in september and done by xmas.
you will make more in 3 months on that than 3 years in cambodia.

sorry so many have been less than helpful here.
dam bums!

Thanks for the reply. This isn't a bad idea. But insurance is not what interests me. I would be much more interested doing some investment analysis/planning, or economic development.

And the whole insurance industry is very sketchy to me. Health insurance is for sure a bubble. As for other types of insurance it still seems like it is overvalued, and customers are getting ripped off. If the health insurance bubble pops, all those extra employees could flood the other insurance jobs. I'm not too educated on insurance, but I have heard even car insurance companies operate like a cartel. So I don't want to invest myself in working for a product(insurance) that is essentially a rip off. The main reason being that it doesn't interest me, and just to re-state I haven't researched the insurance industry so I don't know much about it it's just my opinion, but is seems to be price rigged and obamacare added a lot of risk to the whole industry. Like if you can get an easy 40 hour certificate and make tons of money then the market must be in disequilibrium, or the insurance industry could just be one of the fastest growing industries in the world.

when there is a catastrophe, there are not enough staff adjusters to help claimants so they use contractors.
nothing to do with health.
hurricanes guarantee disequilibrium.
adjusters just document damage so the claimant can have their losses restored.
they do not sell anything or rip anyone off.
stringent laws guarantee that.
with experience, it is possible to make over $2k a day.

cambodia is really not a good place comparative to most other countries to work for most people.
the formerly relaxed visa regime has changed among other compliance changes.

you are pretty late on the scene for that.

It has to do with health because if the next president brings government health care, all the more experienced health insurance adjusters would take most other adjusters jobs. There is also a risk of there not being hurricanes. I do think you are right that right now insurance is one of the hottest and most well paid jobs, as there is a shortage of insurance adjusters. I'm just saying that may not be the case in just a few years and there is risk committing to that field.

There is no way I am late to the economic development scene, seeing how almost all of Cambodia, and most of the world, is still undeveloped. Even the USA needs of urban/community development.
