Although she did not confirm exactly when she plans to leave her comments sparked mixed reactions online.
Some followers encouraged her to prioritize her mental health and personal happiness over money saying peace of mind is more important than a large paycheck.
Others expressed shock arguing that many people dream of getting such opportunities abroad and would not easily give them up.

While life outside the country may appear successful from the outside some diaspora workers continue to struggle with loneliness stress and demanding work environments.
