Moving to Armenia

[KarotheGreat]

So I am looking for information about moving to Armenia, Yerevan particularly. I am a native Lenakanci, who also grew up in a Lenakanci colony over here in Belgium, so you can guess what my prejudice against Yerevan is
Now I wanted to know if anyone knows what the job opportunity is in the financial sector, audit and consultancy?

Re: Moving to Armenia

There are many job opportunities in the IT sector, I would also check for job opportunities at the HSBC in Armenia. Usually for high ranking jobs at some of the Armenian banks you need connections. There may be some consulting jobs, but they will be limited, I don't think it's very developed that sector. Some links that may help you:

IT is one sector I don't want to work in. How about the audit sector, I know that some of the big four are operational in Armenia and those people are always looking for international talent.

I can't say much about audit sector, not too familiar with it. Of course international talent is a plus, but having connections is very useful.

You should message Tigranakert. He may be able to answer some questions about the financial consulting sector.

Re: Moving to Armenia

So it seems that the best way of going to Armenia is still with AIESEC. If anyone is interested in information feel free to contact me.

Never heard of them.

Never heard of them.

Ii is an organisation run by young people (students and people who have just graduated) we are represented in 110 countries. Aiesec was created in 1948 in Europe. One of our core businesses is organising exchanges to other countries, we give students the chance to go and work at a company in an other country. For example every one of you can go and work in Armenia right now for six months or a year. AIESEC will help you find accommodations and the company you are working at will pay you a wage. If you need more information just ask me.

Re: Moving to Armenia

You may also want to look into Government jobs. If they see you have a diploma from abroad, your standing becomes higher. Especially in the Foreign Ministry. Of course having some connections always helps.

The only problem i see with the government is the military issue but the foreign ministry would be an awesome place to work or the ministry of finance
