Is a move to KSA (senior position in a Pif entity) potentially career ending for someone who's worked around Europe and the UK and may want to come back in few years? I got an interesting offer but the money is not life changing (15% more than the gross I make in London) and I am worried that the experience may not be as well regarded as working in a brand name in London. Work looks lot more interesting though. I may want to go back in 2-3 years. Any experience with moving back to the west?

Hi Fishes!

I am currently working on SAP CPI,PIPO,CPI-DS (basically Integration as a whole) development (also attend Support issues regularly) with experience of around 1 year. My leads are quite happy with my works.

For career growth, what shall be my ideal path ahead?
1. Only concentrate on Integration
2. Continue Integration for some years, then switch to Functional modules (in this case, after how many years should I ideally switch)


And what shall be the ideal time to switch companies?

I’m a new analyst at an IB group. I’ve felt that I’ve done well my first month or two and delivered higher quality work, but I feel that lately I’ve been slipping up the past few weeks given the intensity of the deal as well as having multiple peripheral work streams. It also doesn’t help the second year analyst quit so I don’t necessarily have a resource to lean into. (Cont.)
