How difficult is it for English speaking consultants (sr manager and above) to find roles in continental Europe if they aren't fluent in another European language? I'm learning French right now, but not fluent yet and I'm looking for opportunities with FS practices in Europe. Yes, I'm motivated by Brexit.

I posted this question in the London bowl before I remembered that I'm also in this one... Should have come straight here. Sorry if you're seeing this twice.

In some countries, such as the Netherlands, Norway, Sweden, Denmark and to some extent Germany, English speaking consultant should be acceptable. After 4 years in Sweden you can even become a citizen, lol. I would aim for large global companies.

That's very helpful and good to know. Thank you so much. Basically, I just need to keep looking then, or ideally find a recruitment consultant who can pitch me. Looking on LinkedIn doesn't seem to be working.
