    Returning to kenya after a stint abroad is pretty hard....I tried 5 years ago. Now, I given up!. Good for those who are able to adjust....my issue was things and friends had moved on! But by end of day, it is about following individual happiness.

    I would have stayed in the UK a few years & get deep into the the field of Artificial Intelligence & Machine Learning. Use her skills to work around Deep Neural Networks etc. That would have been making her at a minimum 200k pounds a yr. Going straight back home to work for some small Healthtech company was not an ambitious move. Anybody can have that job at smart with a few certifications under the belt.
