Back to the lab again

So, it seems decided.

On August 18 I will be back in Sweden to finish of my Master's degree at Stockholm University. I will be there for a single semester, then graduate. After that my ambition is to work in management consulting. I will be applying for a pretty broad spectrum of consulting firms, but my priorities are two:

  1. Working for an American consulting firm with an internationally recognized brand
  2. Getting exposure to the intersection between strategy and organization
It feels strange to go back to Sweden. I have come to love Asia very much for its diversity, sensitivity to social relationships, the warmth and the openness of its people. I will miss all of that back in Sweden.

At the same time it seems that Sweden is the logical place to start my career, even though I don't aim to stay there for very long. I will enjoy to live in Stockholm for a brief period of time, and I don't feel any anger towards my native country any longer.

But still, for me it is a springboard to a larger world filled with more color, adventure , diversity and life than Sweden can offer.
