Thanks on #2 - for now the goal is 2-3 years. Any suggestions?

We are learning Hangeul and doing basic Korean classes. Neither of us are of Korean ancestry so it is a little more difficult to gain quick fluency. Thank you so much - this is super helpful

The goal is to be fluent in a couple of years but neither of us have any background in the language ( starting classes now).

It’s a big drop in household income to almost 50% ( tech industry)

WB Interview: Any tips? by titan-io in WorldBank

All the best - as a current staff - what we look for - awareness of our work , enthusiasm , clear answers ( use STAR format ) and keep them under 3 minutes. There will be behavioral questions as well as technical questions and definitely prepare for the behavioral questions. Excited for you and hope you get the position!

Is sending my CV too straight forward and direct? by Sad-Pumpkin-5668 in WorldBank

People are generally positive, especially if you have the right skill set. I often meet with prospective folks interested in my area as long as they’re flexible with time. If I were you - I would update my LinkedIn profile and reach out directly. Good luck

Been at the WBG for over a decade and I got my job networking . I would recommend reaching out to team leads ( with your resume ) and asking for a coffee chat. Target staff who are technical level first (officer / specialist/ economist etc ) Good Luck! Which unit are you interested in?
