Because if you're truly long term you get to understand the 1 of 5 conversations that almost always come up

The biggest annoyance is always wanna be digital nomads:
>DUDE HOW DO I DO WHAT YOU DO?
>try to explain it
>YEAH BUT LIKE WHAT DO I DO TO GET YOUR JOB BRO
>ask what skillets
>OH I DON'T HAVE ANY OF THAT I'M UNEMPLOYEED JUST GIVE ME A RESOURCE I CAN LEARN IT IN A MONTH RIGHT? WHO DO I GET HIRED BY BRO HELP ME
>explain it might take 2-5 years in office work to build a resume and show employers you're dependable to work remotely and have the skillset to follow up on projects, and that certificates might be a good idea. Also explain the pitfalls of timezones, being your own boss to ensure projects and deadlines, backup internet shit, and how weekends can be ruined
>eyes gloss over
>WELL WHAT ABOUT THIS DRUGASOFT TO LEARN JAVA IN 2 WEEKS!?!? BRO THE US MARKET SUCKS DUDE I LIVE AT HOME AND DON'T EVEN WAGE SLAVE BUT TRUST ME IT SUCKS THERE! REDDIT AND POL TOLD ME! x9001 doomer excuses

Most other expats are basic bitch travelers wearing the expat name or expats going in a slow decent into madness and poverty losing money at each turn. For those who are real long-term expats, most already know what to do and just want to get ingraned in the local culture or not hear about how Stacy from LA is ~finding themselves~ in SEA on their gap year with their trust funds.

It also depends on the country, PH I don't want to meet with balding 20y/o's who are desperate for pussy explaining to me da west has fallen, or in Korea a dickwaving competition by white guys explaining how they really could do a job there they just don't wanna. Power leveling competitions suck.
