Would say that it can be tough for a junior person to get put on an expat package overseas. Ultimately, the primary reason an employer will send someone abroad is because that person can offer a skill set hard to find in the local market.

If you are a generalist it can be tough. If you want to work abroad and can handle local pay scales, that can be easier to do. But generally an expat package compensates for the hardships of living abroad.

 

If you wanted to up and leave your company and work locally, Australia is a good bet. For some reason people over here tend to believe you more if you are American working in business. Much smaller industry than HK etc though.

But yeah as PlaneBanker said, you will only be sent abroad if you have something special to offer taht location that they can't get themselves.

 

Are you kidding me? Is that why 1 million White persons have left South Africa, because jobs are easy for them to get? Weeded people out? What the hell are you talking about? Do you even know what the fuck BEE is? You keep living the false dream you denialist. I hope you enjoy kaffirmative action.

 
Ryan:
Roguebanker, what a load of crap, I am a white South African male, and had no problem getting a job in leveraged finance at a top bank. If BEE has done one thing, it's weeded the weak out of the country.

I agree with Ryan, competent people still get great jobs. In fact I would go as far as saying that most people in IB/PE are not BEE placements. Most analyst programmes are quite diverse much opportunity for everyone. Plus all the people that stayed in SA are getting good pan-African IB exposure.

I'm not a BEE candidate and I'm doing pretty well in IB. I'm glad to be part of an emerging market success story.

Listen chachi, the fact of the matter is every half competent person I have come accross has the job they want. Do I know what BEE is, yes dickwad, I live in SA. Do you?

 

I left that shithole 2 years ago, I hope you enjoy your stay you liberal faggot.

And where do you work? Citigroup SA in Sandton? Even the richest part of SA has horrible fucking crime. Hope you aren
