Ask the headhunter

B.A. asks:

For about five years now, I’ve been working as a senior chip engineer at the semiconductor division of a large Korean technology company. I really like it there, although I’ve reached my personal peak in the organization. To move ahead, I really need to speak Korean and that seems impossible with my limited language skills.

Because I’m ready for the next step in my career, I’m talking to an American company in the Netherlands. They offer me a challenging role in an interesting technology segment and my enthusiasm is growing every day. We’re currently in the negotiation phase for the contract.
