Hi!
Are there any consulting firms in Singapore that are open to sponsoring a visa for an UK graduate with an MBBS degree and less than one year of consulting experience?
I have done summer internships in 2 different consulting companies and I wonder if getting a job in Singapore straight out of university as an international student would be impossible or just very very difficult.
Thank you!
Hi,
If you go through the normal application route it is unlikely. However, if you try to find a mentor that is a senior person at these firms and can vouch for you, that could work.
If you would like to brainstorm how this can be done, feel free to chat
Hi there,
Formally, yes.
Practically, it's rather hard.
The important thing they'll want to understand is - why Singapore? Did you study there? Did you work there? Do you have any personal reasons for being there?
Otherwise, your application might seem random to them and they might reject it at the screening phase.
That aside, they do have the ability to support visa applications.
Best,
Cristian
It’s possible, but it won’t be easy. You’ll need to craft a compelling narrative for ‘why Singapore’ and why they should hire you rather than the highly qualified local talent.
It would help to get a referral from a senior consultant, if you’re able to network your way into receiving one.
Hey there,
I second what most of the other coaches have said. I myself tried to transfer to the Singapore office but it was impossible…and I’m already an MBB consultant. Sorry if this sounds like pouring cold water over the idea, but more context below:
To add more nuance, Singaporean companies have a quota for non-locals, so many employers save their Employment pass (EP) for critical talent, and for large consulting firms this tends to be for senior positions eg Partners.
If you are open to smaller boutique firms, there will likely be more opportunities, but you will need to get in touch individually and ask if they sponsors EPs for foreign talent
