"story_excerpt": "Hey everyone,\n \n I'm facing a major life dilemma and could really use some objective perspective.\n \n \n Our background:\n \n I'm a 31yo software engineer. My wife and I are originally from Belarus (currently heavily impacted by the regional political situation/war). When I was 25, we moved to Zurich for a Big Tech job. Financially it was great, but socially it was incredibly tough. We didn't learn the local language, never managed to build a social circle, and felt very isolated. While living there, we had a daughter.\n \n Eventually, we decided to move to the USA, hoping for better socialization and a fresh start. We’ve been in the US for a few years now. Socially, it’s slightly better than Zurich, but we still haven't found close friends, and we live a pretty isolated \"hermit\" life.\n ",
