This week me and Anastasia Morozova conducted our third Career MeetUp for Russians based in Florianópolis. This time it was in online mode. Additionally to the networking piece we included presentation about Brazilian market, job, business opportunities and challenges. One of the interesting numbers about Brazilian and Santa Catarina economy is the Human Development Index (a summary measure of average achievement in key dimensions of human development: a long and healthy life, being knowledgeable and having a decent standard of living). Brazilian HDI grew a lot since 1970. Even though it is still lower than in Chile, Argentina or Uruguay, there are couple of Brazilian regions with the same level of HDI as these countries. These regions are São Paulo, Santa Catarina and Distrito Federal (Brasília). Not by coincidence São Paulo and Santa Catarina are the leading states in Brazil in terms of innovation, number of startups and entrepreneurial activity. This additionally to Santa Catarina presenting the lowest unemployment rate in the country, proves a fértil soil for the talents, including foreign specialists, to grow. Of course reinforcing a need of an extra effort to find a fit with specific market requirements and facilitate the integration by working on portuguese knowledge and networking. #careermeetup #career #realizarse #careerinbrazil #carreiranobrasil #carreira
Had a great session on the challenges and opportunities in the Brazilian market with Marina Chekmysheva and Anastasia Morozova. I fully support their effort to connect Russian professionals living in Brazil. There's so much we can learn from each other! #Brazil #Network #Russia
