NEED ADVICE - Hi all, I'm a L11 analyst and super interested in applying to a 2 month scholarship in Saudi Arabia to learn Arabic but concerned about the working logistics - does anyone have any advice on whether I can work from Saudi for 2/3weeks and if not, how can I leverage my leave etc. to be able to accommodate this? I.e. is unpaid leave a thing here? I have some AL leftover too - the dates for the scholarship aren't confirmed and waiting till promo to take sabbatical is a stretch

How much work will you actually do if you are meant to be studying?
If you cash in all your leave then that is 6 weeks. You can go over your leave allowance if you buy the extra days (with approval).

It is not impossible to work from abroad, but if I would be honest with yourself about how much work you’ll actually do…

Speak to HR about a leave of absence, I think you have to work for us for 18 months to be eligible. Unpaid leave is also a thing but speak to HR.

LOA has to be longer I think. Maybe unpaid leave is an option.

You could probably get a Saudi project? Reach out to some people who work in Saudi.
Otherwise use ur annual leave or take unpaid leave
