Before the pandemic, nearly 25,000 people went abroad for working holidays annually, and this number is gradually recovering post-pandemic. Nick, a worker, quit his job in the aviation industry to work in Australia for a year, running deliveries in the wealthiest suburbs, experiencing both warmth and coldness, which he refers to as the 'Australian Syndrome.' However, each person's experience differs, with some agencies stating that a working holiday experience might not necessarily be a bonus on returning to the job market. While some have perfect experiences, Nick faced exhaustion and even encountered racial discrimination when job hunting in high-end restaurants. Other individuals, like Xiao Qun in Japan, also share their experiences. Despite the challenges, some recommend clear intentions before embarking on working holidays to avoid regrets, especially during career crucial periods.
