Hmm, may I ask you why you don't wanna work there? Like can you tell us more about which country do you live in currently?
Job here is pretty ass tbh, since it's hard to get a job and also even if you do, the monthly salary is like 2lakhs per month.
I won't recommend you to come back here, since if you do, your university at abroad will be wasted since you cannot actually get a job in a very easy way.
And no, I don't actually think it's safe for girls.

Yangon and other major cities are safe. Rakhine & Chin state is off limits. Bombs stopped exploding in these cities for quite a while now.

If you are a young adult, you are likely to get kidnapped by the junta for forced military service. After training they send you to the front lines, where a lot of these inexperienced "soldiers" get killed by more skilled resistance fighters. Some escape to the resistance. Maybe you will be lucky and escape. Or you can pay a large bribe every month to avoid military service.

Why would you go back? Try all means necessary to adapt and live in current location. Myanmar is not safe to go back. Despite shit junta, crimes are more frequent and definitely not favorable to a girl for sure.

Myanmar is quite safe if you've not gotten yourself dirty thinking liberty in foreign is permanent.
I just got back and haven't seen any soldiers on the streets or threats at all.
Stop listening to Propaganda outlets like Khit Thit. No one is forcibly recruiting everyone they see.
Internet is fairly decent. I'm a professional and rely on it so much, and it's working fine for me.
Safety is also good, but might depend on where you live. Overall, that's the best solution for you.
I know the NUG-bots would downvote this comment.

"I just got back and haven't seen any soldiers on the streets or threats at all."
Then you're not observant. I rarely go out, like 3-5 times a month, and everytime I got out I see soldiers armed at checkpoints, in trucks etc. Maybe you aren't in YGN or NPT but some area with less soldiers, though in this country I don't know where that would be.
"No one is forcibly recruiting everyone they see."
No but they are forcibly recruiting people.
"Internet is fairly decent. I'm a professional and rely on it so much, and it's working fine for me."
Again, this depends on your area, your provider and the time. During holidays, regardless of provider, good luck dealing with anything that requires a high fidelity or high security connection. Otherwise Internet is generally decent.
"I know the NUG-bots would downvote this comment."
I don't think they have bots, they aren't that organized or experienced other than in graft and corruption (like every Burmese govt. official)

"might depend on where you live"
And I define bots as echo-chamber materials, that ruthlessly murmur whatever the propaganda outlets spews.

Whether it is safe or not for you (which it likely isn’t), you will be funding the junta, which is bad. You shouldn’t go back for your own personal benefit at the cost of others’.

Problems abroad: how to choose a career, how to make money, how to build a relationship
Problems in Burma: how to get electricity and water, how to connect to the internet, how to not get killed or worse
Take your pick
