Hi All,
First time posting, so just want to say thanks to all the comments and time people put into making this forum informative and helpful.
I'm currently considering an offer for an expat position and want to get a better understanding about career development opportunities. I have a PhD and 6 yoe, so am on the earlier side of my career and trying to understand whether this position can be good in the medium/long term.
From reading so far it seems that opportunities to move up are rare for expats, in terms of position/responsibilities, so I'm curious to know if its possible to move laterally and work on different projects/tasks as a way of getting exposure to different things.
Is this something that is allowed for people in expat positions (i.e., through an internal job board) or is there the expectation that expats are hired for a specific project/task/department and cannot move to something else?
Thanks
