Would you stay in Pakistan to build business or move abroad? Need honest advice!
Like many young Pakistanis, I’m trying to make a long-term career decision and would genuinely appreciate some advice from people who have been through similar situations.
I recently completed my LLB through an external program in Pakistan. The biggest issue is that I’ve realized I don’t want to practice law professionally. I started the degree because I was genuinely passionate about law, but after seeing the profession up close, I’ve decided it’s not the path I want to pursue.
For context, my family owns a jewellery business. It’s not a large business, but I believe it has significant growth potential if managed aggressively and modernized. The challenge is that it’s a family business, so I don’t have complete autonomy over decisions, which makes scaling it more complicated.
At the moment, I’m considering a few different paths:
Stay in Pakistan and focus on growing the family business.
Move abroad (Australia or the UK), pursue an LLM, obtain post-study work rights, gain exposure, and eventually start a business there.
Build skills that are actually useful for entrepreneurship, such as digital marketing, sales, e-commerce, branding, operations, or even trading.
One area I’m particularly confused about is trading and e-commerce. I see many people online promoting them as paths to financial freedom, but I can’t tell how much of that is reality versus marketing. Should I invest serious time into learning trading or e-commerce, or would my time be better spent developing other business skills that have a higher probability of helping me build a successful company?
My long-term goal isn’t simply to get a job. I want to build and grow businesses, whether in Pakistan or abroad.
For those who have faced a similar choice:
Would you stay in Pakistan and focus on business?
Would you move abroad first?
Is an LLM worthwhile if I don’t intend to practice law?
What skills would you prioritize learning if your ultimate goal was entrepreneurship?
I’d appreciate honest perspectives, especially from people with firsthand experience in business, immigration, e-commerce, or trading.
