Consulting Firms - SEA

Question

Hi,

Are there any consulting firms (MBB and/or boutiques) in Singapore which may sponsor VISA for entering as an entry-mid level consultant (2 years of experience)? From what I know about Singapore it is almost impossible.

Is the any other country in the region, South East Asia, or Asia in general, where the situation is different, and they might hire expats (no local language knowledge)? if yes, which countries and firms would you suggest to target?

Many thanks in advance

Answer 1

Hi!

I'm not sure about SE Asia, but if you're open to the rest of Asia more broadly, I know that the Middle East (in particular, Dubai) tends to recruit heavily from abroad. Knowledge of Arabic can be an advantage but is not necessary by any means. Work culture tends to be fairly similar to Singapore. Pay is often better.

I know the Dubai landscape fairly well, so if that's of interest to you, feel free to reach out and we can speak further!
