Iniciamos com ele esta nova temática no nosso site, intitulada de ‘Nós Lá Fora’, onde procuramos trazer ao nosso público uma conversa clara e informal entre os intervenientes, relatando histórias de portugueses que saíram do país em busca de um futuro melhor e/ou de uma nova oportunidade.

Como foi a tua saída do país, uma oportunidade ou necessidade?
DM: Em 2009 foi um pouco de ambas. Eu já tinha trabalhado em Dublin, em 2007 durante 7 meses, no entanto, na altura recebi um convite para voltar a Portugal e trabalhar na minha àrea de formação, que aceitei de imediato. Após 2 anos em Portugal, no início da recessão económica e com a minha progressão profissional estagnada, fez com que procurasse sair do país novamente.

Foi fácil a integração e habituação a este novo desafio?
DM: Sim, foi. O facto de ter criado amizades em 2007 fez com que o regresso a Dublin não fosse tão penoso quanto a primeira experiência e obviamente que tornou bastante fácil este regresso a Dublin. No início tudo é novidade, entramos em êxtase e pensamos que nada nos vai tirar a felicidade de termos tido a coragem necessária para sair do país e lutar por nós próprios. O apoio de quem nos quer bem (família e amigos), seja em Portugal, seja na Irlanda é também muito importante, pois serão eles a nossa bengala nos dias menos bons, nos dias em que se pudesse voltava para casa num piscar de olhos…

Gostas de trabalhar/viver em Dublin?
DM: Gosto, caso contrário não estaria cá. Penso que se não somos felizes com a nossa vida, pessoal e/ou profissional temos que mudar, arriscar e fazer acontecer!

O facto de Dublin ser uma cidade bastante acolhedora, sendo o tempo o aspecto mais negativo, fez com que me conseguisse integrar rapidamente!

Sentes o teu trabalho e o teu conhecimento mais reconhecido e valorizado no país que te acolheu?
DM: Sem dúvida! Em todas as empresas em que já trabalhei em Dublin (Barclaycard, Accenture e CPL) existe sempre a preocupação dos teus superiores hierárquicos em expandir o teu conhecimento. Em 3 anos em Dublin, consegui ser promovido 3 vezes, procurar um trabalho melhor (em termos de salário e/ou e funções a desempenhar), lutei por mim e pela minha carreira, enquanto em Portugal, como disse anteriormente a minha carreira estava estagnada, não me era possível progredir, aprender mais, desenvolver-me enquanto profissional… Em Portugal a estrutura organizacional das empresas é muito limitada, as pessoas acomodam-se rapidamente e não aspiram a mais, por vezes por culpa das entidades patronais que não apostam na formação e desenvolvimento dos seus activos (funcionários).

Em 3 anos em Dublin, consegui ser promovido 3 vezes (…) enquanto em Portugal, a minha carreira estava estagnada, não me era possível progredir, aprender mais, desenvolver-me enquanto profissional.

O que mais gostas e o que menos gostas na vida de emigrante?
DM: O que menos gosto é fácil, não gosto de estar longe da Família, Amigos e definitivamente não gosto do tempo na Irlanda! O que mais gosto talvez seja a progressão de carreira que já adquiri e do plano que, em conjunto com os meus superiores hierárquicos, foi criado para que eu me possa desenvolver de forma a continuar a crescer como profissional e obviamente, como pessoa.

Visto por fora, como vês a situação em que se encontra Portugal e mais concretamente os portugueses?
DM: Penso que o país está de rastos! Ninguém acredita numa melhoria substancial num futuro próximo, as pessoas perderam a motivação a força de vontade de querer fazer acontecer…

Entristece-me o facto de ir de férias e ver a minha cidade quase como uma cidade fantasma, entristece-me ver os noticiários em Portugal e pensar que se algum dia o meu país se vai recompor, entristece-me ver os meus amigos sem emprego ou com empregos precários… Os números de desemprego jovem são gritantes, principalmente quando pensas que a geração jovem é a mais qualificada de sempre no nosso país… As pessoas deixaram de acreditar, acreditar no país, no governo, nos empresários, algumas nelas próprias, e isso, na minha opinião, é grave, muito grave… Sem quaisquer aspirações políticas, penso que a nossa classe política tem que ser renovada, reciclada, caso contrário, como popularmente dizemos, “ continuaremos com farinha do mesmo saco”…

Tens intenção de regressar a Portugal num futuro próximo?
DM: Óbvio, mas de férias! Infelizmente, e acredita que penso muitas vezes quando poderei voltar a casa. Sim, a casa, pois Portalegre será sempre a minha cidade e Portugal o meu cantinho à beira-mar plantado onde existem 4 factores que me fazem muita falta para a minha felicidade, e que apenas aí consigo encontrar a conjugação dos 4, Família, Amigos, Comida e claro, o Tempo. Deixa-me realçar que caso tenha oportunidade profissional de voltar a Portugal, fá-lo-ei sem qualquer problema e com um largo sorriso no rosto.

Que conselho dás a quem pensa emigrar neste momento?
DM: Penso que quem queira tentar a sua sorte noutro país que não o nosso, deve fazê-lo sem qualquer estigma. Devem, no entanto , recolher o máximo de informações sobre o país de destino, como a cultura, o tempo, as condições laborais, etc, e tomar a decisão com base em todos os factores. Conheço inúmeras histórias de quem saiu do país com uma mochila às costas, um bilhete na mão, 10 cv’s impressos para entregar e passado 2/3 semanas já se encontravam a trabalhar, já tive conhecimento também de casos em que a pessoa tenha tido imensas dificuldades em adaptar-se ao país de destino e tenha resolvido voltar para casa após 1 mês. Quero com isto dizer que emigrar é algo que deve ser bem ponderado de forma a reduzir as hipóteses que algo corra mal. Há Portugueses espalhados por todo o mundo, procurem-nos, procurem apoio, procurem quem vos indique o que fazer e como fazer, pois a solidariedade entre emigrantes é muito grande, pois como costumamos dizer, “eu também já passei por isso…”

Obrigado por esta entrevista e pela oportunidade. Boa sorte para o futuro!
