Working at T2 consulting company, I have the opportunity to go to Seoul for 2-3 years to help establish knowledge transfer and strengthen brand. I have spent 4 months on Korea previously and appreciate the culture and people (from my superficial understanding), however in non work setting.
I feel like it could be a great opportunity. However I do have some respect as I only speak very basic Korean and have heard bad stories about WLB. Thoughts/ Input on either?

Sounds like a great opportunity - go! I am sure it will be difficult and you may struggle a bit in the first few months but that experience will make you a better and more rounded consultant. Plus, working in Korea is just way too fun to pass up

Any update on this? Would love to know which company you are/were at if you’re willing to DM me!
