Thanks. Actually, I do.

What would the roles offered with each company? Where would you be located for each?

Same location, doesn't make a difference. Both are similar roles, staff function (procurement).

Hey Everyone!
I’m coming up on one year of working in consulting post under grad in a financial services vertical. I know I want to transition to corporate strategy down the road, but don’t have much interest in financial service strategy. Should I try and switch into a more applicable practice such as M&A or operations? Will I be able to break into corporate strategy without any past experience in that industry? I want to avoid getting pigeonholed into FS, but with COVID, don’t want to leave.

Hello All,

I hope everyone is doing well.

Is anyone here, who switched company from India to Germany?
Do they consider only German speaking candidates or English speaking is ok for them?
Also, anyone have experience with EU Blue card.
Can we directly apply for EU blue card from India if there is a job offer? Anyone got visa sponsorship directly from German employer?

I have seen most of companies need German speaking candidates.
