Is it common for an analyst or consultant to travel internationally for a project?

From a pure dollars perspective, at the analyst level, are you really that irreplaceable such that the host country can't find another analyst who can do the job as well as you. It's an affordability thing most of the time. It's not common. There has to be a business justification first and foremost. If a practice is continually having to ship junior resources internationally to staff projects it points to a bigger internal recruiting and training problem at hand. Basically, you have to really bring something to the table to make it happen, and it can be a hard sell. I find that when it happens, you're taking advantage of an inefficiency in the staffing process.

I know of one in Europe, based in US right now

I started international travel my first year and have done so every year since multiple times ;)

If you want to go international apply for internal jobs in other countries. Friend resigned from ACN USA. To be hired by ACN UK

Yah but I don't want to move office. I want to be there for short stint (couple of months at a time) on ACN dime.

Get lucky, get a specialized skill, help sell something abroad, or get friendly with an important SM or MD

It's more common than you'd think. As an analyst/consultant, your rate is low enough and if you have a useful skill (data science specialty or multi-language proficiency) you will get sent all over. My first few years in consulting had me in Brazil, Colombia, Korea, and Israel. I think the combination of low rate + specialized skill goes a long way.

It went well. This interview was much more hands on than Accenture. Granted this is for M level. Will find out in few days I suppose.

Ugh wrong thread wtf

I’m burnt out from trying to drive creative solutions for my team and clients. All everyone seems to wants is simple block & tackle tactics that don’t have deeper strategic meat to them. The briefs I read are constantly off strategy and there’s honestly seems to be a lack of common sense (e.g., don’t kick off a tactic the client doesn’t know about).

It sucks even more because pharma is already highly regulated and restrictive with how creative you can be. I just feel so spent and uninspired.

Need a quick point of view all - today on a group call, I asked a new c level male exec if it was fine for me to provide a client with a piece of information we had been discussing on the call (this required his approval). He replied “you’re an adult so tell them what you want”. I was immediately livid and felt it was a totally weird, condescending response. I’m a senior female employee at the company and this guy has already had issues at the company with his tone, thoughts? Am I overreacting?

Did I just find a bad therapist or is it normal to project your own regrets to your patients?
