Hi, how easy is it for an Electronics and Telecommunication Engineer with 30 years experience to find a job in Turkey?

Thanks and kind regards,

Renu

Youve not stated


1) The country you are moving from?

2) Buying or renting in Turkey?

3) Languages spoken/written?

4) Formal and internationally recognised qualifications held.


Appreciate that Turkey is a little behind when it comes to cellular technologies in particular (no 5g as yet). Most new build developments seem to be prewired for telecoms, so those seem for you to be a good place to start.

In Turkey they will pay you too little.Try European countries first but you  are desperate  to leave your country .You may try.But remember Turkey is not a place to work since Minimum wage is one of the worst in the world.Good place  to retire not to work.Good luck

But you didn't answer any of my questions for better advice?

Bahaar Sawra

Hi,

Yes...I didn't, sorry about that. The reason for that was that my husband said it's not easy finding a job anywhere at his age despite the vast experience he's had. So there was no point in pursuing the idea further.

Thanks and kind regards

Bahaar.

Hello,


To be honest, I am a Turkish citizen living in Istanbul.

I'm a computer expert too, I'm about to immigrate to a different country because I can't do business in my own country.


My advice is to try a different country.

Good luck.

I have 25yrs in telecoms but on the operational side of the fence.


It doesn't mean you can't do something else just because you have years+++ of experience in one area.


Good luck 👍
