Good as a stepping stone

Full time consultant

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

-Great for networking -Competitive salary -Good as a stepping stone to a job in another multilateral organization, or to later apply to a PhD

Cons

-As a full time consultant, due to internal regulations, you can’t work for more than 3 years for the organization. To continue working there after those 3 years, and to make a career inside the organization, you have to so get a staff position -Only staff positions get benefits besides the salary -In most Divisions of the organization, it’s almost impossible to get a staff position without a PhD

Business Outlook

Pros

Work can be interesting, but also uneven. Many times you do a lot more work than people in staff positions.

Cons

If you are a consultant, the pay is low, unstable, and without any benefits. Really bad working conditions.

Good place while you look for something else

Senior specialist

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Comfortable setting for a couple of years; benefits are competitive; good work-life balance

Cons

Not ideal if you’ve invested a lot in your education and are a moderately ambitious person. There’s a lot of dead weight in this multilateral institution. The chances that your manager will be a mediocre fool are extremely high.
