On top of that, we are regularly put through top-notch professional training on soft skills such as effective communication, stakeholder engagement and negotiation.

I’m thankful that EDB offered me this ultimate experience of living and working in one of the most beautiful countries in the world. Working in a different country can sometimes be daunting, but it also forces me to step out of my comfort zone and strive to be a better version of myself every day.
