💵💵💵 makes everything else obsolete. You come to the middle east to go back to Europe retired decades before you would be able to do so in Europe. It's not career, it's life choice

Harder in regards to what ? Be more specific you are a manager man

Although this was my goal once I moved here to the Middle East, I am slowly coming to realize that retiring early is not a strong incentive enough to keep me here for the time needed to achieve this goal. I miss my life, friends, and quality of life in Europe and I don’t think there is a price to it. I am actively looking to come back. It will take time of course

I moved back to the UK after 13 months

Consultant - tbh for one interview they felt i was out of knowledge of UK trends but dont thinks its a blocker. Just have to make sure experience translates well to your country/market and projects are relevant to that industry

A guy did 2 years at Kearney and moved back to France with no problems. And stop saying obsolete there is always a job for you in Europe lol

I thought you become obsolete the moment your mind starts to wonder about the Middle East.

Hi, just wondering how the staffing situation has been in strategy consulting in general? My sibling started a job in strategy in Silicon Valley 2 months ago after MBA. She has been on the bench for 2 months and was informed that there has been a shortage of jobs (within the job) and the amount of people on the bench is getting high. She has been under a lot of stress although she had many great networking calls with people. I wanted to help but can't identify what she can improve on.
