I work for a big consulting firm in Paris and I currently began an interesting project in Brussels. I have worked for less than a week with my colleagues and I find all of them competent and talented. However, it seems that finding people like them in Belgium is not as simple. The post for which I was chosen has been vacant for more than one month and the client has refused several candidates. Meanwhile, in Paris, lots of consultants are “on the bench” waiting for a project to be staffed in, and I can guarantee that all of them are really talented. I would dare to say that the company for which I currently work for, really insists in choosing the right people.
In the end, it turns out that the best talents are concentrated in big capitals such as Paris, sitting on the desks waiting for the proper project, while smaller capitals such as Brussels have hard time finding the adequate profiles.
Apparently, they really appreciate the capability of speaking Spanish, dealing with hard providers and employees, and like Mr. Gerente would say: “bitching the hell out of each and every inefficient worker”.
