I did a 1-year temp transfer to BCG Hong Kong and it was definitely the best professional experience I’ve had. You will grow so much personally and professionally, it’ll blow your mind! Go for that, OP
@BCG1, did you have to speak mandarin?
Nope.. and tbh, I was surprised by how different the Chinese corporate culture was vs. what I expected
@BCG1 how was work life balance? I've always been intrigued about working in Asia but scared by how hard they grind
Not gonna lie.. most projects are like meat grinders. On average I did 65-75h. Easier to focus when you’re far from everyone, though
Reach out to MDs in the space/country you’re interested in - I got a role in Singapore (from US)
Do they shift your payroll to the destination country? Or you are still getting paid in USD? From what I’m seeing, I will be making 50% less for the similar position in Asia. Not a deal breaker but would like to know lol.
If your in ADP (an Accenture program) you do, if not then there’s no cut - can’t comment for other firms
I did ADP back in the day in Africa and then Asia, made half pay, but it was an amazing experience and resume builder/differentiator. One other girl I was there with thought about transferring to Singapore but the salaries there are generally way less (not sure the %) and she decides not to do it.
Such rotation programs are highly dependent on your company, Check with HR. Did 6 months in SE Asia, learnt loads, super cool fintech stuff, but averaged 16+ hours/day, still worth it
Think about how much extra work you’re willing to handle. Good middle ground for it is SE Asia systems. Korea, Japan, China some of the worst for it.
