1. 01Local or International Company?

   Hello, everyone. I'm an accountant in Jakarta. For five years, I worked at a small local company. Now, I work at a large international company. So I've worked at both. Today, I'll compare the two for anyone choosing a job.

2. 02Work Style

   First, work style. At the local company, I did many different jobs, from accounting to helping customers. At the international company, my role is clearer, but there are many more rules and processes.

3. 03Relationships

   Second, relationships. My old company felt like a family. We had lunch together every day. On the other hand, my new company is more formal, and many colleagues are in other countries.

4. 04Language and Growth

   Third, growth. At the international company, I use English every day, and there are training programs. My English and my skills have improved much faster than before.

5. 05Decisions and Speed

   However, decisions are slower now. At my old company, I could ask the boss and get an answer in five minutes. Now, some decisions need approval from three different offices.

6. 06Side by Side

   Here's a summary. Each type of company has clear strengths.

7. 07Conclusion

   In conclusion, neither is better for everyone. If you want to try many things quickly, a local company may suit you. If you want structured training and global experience, try an international one. Thank you.
