    I am a real positive person, you would be surprised how much it helps a lot. I am true to myself

    Take care and stay positive !

Limiyed skillset, lack of local knowledge, currently a permie very far away, in a relatively dead market with very little niche qualities to offer. Add in that annoying false positivity and given the evidence so far in this thread a propensity not to listen very well and well, you're DOOMED!

    HTH but IDI.

        Yes, the old head in the sand and only hear what you want to approach. It works well when you're a novice at something and asking advice.

        Y'all don't come back now ya hear?

          If you just think of them as your least favourite uncle who used to turn up at Christmas, get drunk and behave inappropriately towards your 14 year old sister, then you'll grow to love them.

            I would thought after seeing so many responses from different people you would also have got the hang of putting the quote first so we can actually see in what context your response is without having to re-read it again as the quote is at the bottom but hey ho... there are some that learn fast and.. well there are others that don't.

                      Merci !!!

                      Hello,

                      Thanks for taking the time to respond. I am about to jump into our career database and see what is available. I think these are wonderful ideas. Basically, let them pay for it :> I will keep you posted.

                      Really big thanks !

                      If I was in your shoes, I would do a search on the internal Accenture opportunities database, and see if you can get yourself assigned to a UK-based engagement. Yes, this means that you'll still be an Accenture employee, but there are a multitude of benefits in doing it this way.

                      Here are some of them...

                      Accenture will handle the logistics of getting you to the UK (flights, temporary accommodations, transportation of personal effects, etc.).
                      Working for Accenture will make it much easier for you to open bank accounts, get an NI number (if you don't already have one), get local credit cards, etc.
                      You'll have a job and income while you become familiar with the local contract market, housing options, etc.
                      When you do decide to quit, you'll have current UK experience.
                      If you decide you don't like the UK, being with Accenture will allow you to return easily to the US, or to go somewhere else.

                      Leverage your current position to achieve your goals.
