Career At The Crossroads

[skylar]

I'm hoping to get some feedback from members who are considerably more experienced in the world of business than I am.

I'm in my mid twenties and embarked on what looked like a promising career in market research. The main reason for entering the industry was that with enough senior level experience, I would be able to work overseas in a wide variety of countries. Due to company losses I resigned/was made redundant simultaneously with a few others... a very weird situation... and due to a dearth of suitable jobs in the industry in Sydney, I am rethinking my choice of career. I cannot relocate as I have a partner to consider.

I have been asked to consider employment in business analysis (not IT, sales related), but am wondering if I am able to move around in Asia (to Thailand first and foremost) before I make a decision. I don't want to wait forever for the 'right' job in MR to come along... or is this what one does? I'm not experienced enough to know, but I don't want to keep switching industries as I would like to start specialising and gain more industry specific skills.

Thoughts?

You have been asked? Jump on it and make it from there.

Hardly anyone here other than Sun Belt Asia can talk knowledgably about your kind of job.
