While most Americans think that consulting/banking jobs in the east are more ‘cool’, many foreigners deem the technical jobs are more useful for their resume (which partially comes from Asian culture, where technical jobs are regarded as ‘elite’).



Oh really? I would submit that consulting/banking jobs are considered pretty darn cool in Asia also. Last time I checked, Asia had 3 of the top-tier finance centers of the world (Hong Kong, Tokyo, and Singapore), and several middle-tier ones that may soon be top-tier centers (Seoul, Shanghai). Being an investment banker in Hong Kong or Tokyo or Singapore is a highly desired job. The same holds for consulting.
