I am a Singaporean student in a target London university. I've seen many favourable comments on Singapore here and it got me wondering whether it is not the best decision to start a consulting career in London and that I should be starting my career directly in Singapore.
My initial plan was to stay in London for 3-5 years and then go home. Should I be planning to start in Singapore directly? What are the differences/ pros & cons?
Thank you

Hi Francesco, you're right on that I am looking for some international experience. For some reason, Singaporeans seem to have the mentality that having a few years of western working exp in places like London and New York will greatly improve your career when you return home. I am born and raised Singaporean and only left to study university, so I won't have any visa issues at all. I am biased to Singapore too because I love my country but I am trying to find out whether working in London to have a "career boost" is a myth or a fact. Thank you!
