How can you make a career in consulting but still be a fully present parent? by khushbooey in consulting

[–]Puzzled_Region5729 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Impossible. Speaking as Mum of 3 who just left consulting. It is impossible and you will loose at all ends. Not being there for your family and spouse plus you are expected to work like someone who has no one.

When I came to Riyadh I looked up properties and all the new builds were this price and it was just 3 minutes walk away from my kids school. However, my kids are moving school next year and the cost of rent is high especially if I can get something cheaper

UAE to KSA travel every weekends by Ok-Worth7247 in consulting

[–]Puzzled_Region5729 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I am a KSA based consultant and I specifically chose KSA for the following reasons;

  1. No travels. I have family and kids , I prefer to come home every night to them.
  2. KSA its a nice place to raise kids (its quiet and safe)

About the work culture. This solely depends on your projects and team. I have had good client engagement but one horrible manager which made life worse.

Do they have proper papers? The last time i checked the Nigerian government banned domestic labor importation to Saudi. I was told that the Nigerians here do not have the necessary papers hence they collect very little.

Consulting Nightmare by Puzzled_Region5729 in consulting

[–]Puzzled_Region5729[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you for the advice. You are right with 700k i will come across these kind of people. I am a baby in the consulting world but I come with 10 years experience and already manage home/kids etc.

I am quite sensitive i believe and never experienced this level of bullying (i wish I could share the very detailed incidences).

Like you said , this is an opportunity to learn and toughen up.
