Thanks for your input! I think I overvalued the prospect of Portugal from the start. I see now that it’s an ideal place for wealthy Western retirees who want to enjoy the weather, beaches, and EU mobility. For someone like me who isn't poor but isn't wealthy either it doesn't offer much in terms of career growth.Even for the Portuguese themselves.

When you say "better luck elsewhere" I assume you mean both Portugal and Turkey?

I mean some people overvalue places like Turkey too. Chances are you're not going from an undervalued place to an overvalued place to end up disappointed.
