Where do most people want to work (HQ, CF, RO or the field)? & why?
Hi everyone, I'm a consultant (home based) for one of the entities. I have the experience working in HQ with 2 different entities and HQ internship as well. The experience was good, but I wasn't satisfied with my work. I really want to do field work, I'm very interested in (Sudan, Syria, Yemen and Lebanon) one of the main reason is the language as I'm fluent in Arabic, I'm very interested in the geopolitical in the region as well. I'm not applying right now, but I'm planning to transition to the field at some point. My question for the hiring managers is: where the competition is more intense? In HQ, CO, / field or RO? & why?
Please share your experience as well, I'm interested to hear all!
Also aware of the funding crisis and many entities trying to be frugal with their resources now!
Thanks in advance!
