Fishes, I would really like to hear your opinion!Thx 😃
Two offers to compare: Senior Associate at EYP in London and Associate L3 at Strategy& in France/Germany (trying to be more anonymous)
My profile, Asian, had a master degree in one the two countries mentioned before and don’t speak fluent local language. Currently I’m working at a small strategy consulting firm for ~3 years.
Which one is better for my future career progress? Although strategy& salary is significantly higher (not important)

London any time if you don’t speak the local language in the other countries. This will sooner or later put a ceiling to your career.

That’s a very good point, thanks!

Strategy& salary in DE is pretty decent, better than UK and cost of living is lower - but I love London so it’s worth those extra $ IMO

I think there are a few more things to consider while deliberating a move - do you know what is the cost of living for France / Germany - rent, socials, transport ? Do you know anyone there already ? Have you given some thought on what your social life would look like ? What does moving look like in a pandemic world ? If you know the answers to the questions and are okay with the risks involved , then go for the offer in France / Germany !

I have studied and lived in this country for over 5 years now, so it’s more like a question that it is worthy to move to London and leave all what I have established behind
