      Business Outlook

      Pros

      --Given big responsibilities which enabled me to develop my skill set --Having creative license to present my ideas and have them accepted --Learning firsthand about the international and local coordination mechanisms in place to protect refugees --Meeting interesting people (government officials, journalists, development and humanitarian workers) --The challenging environment of field work tests your character (pro in this case) --Good pay and benefits

      Cons

      --Little to no work-life balance --Lots of days working 12+ hours --Lot of consecutive all-nighters --Stressful in the field, navigating the local context --Inefficient way of working (averse to technology and time-saving methods) --Better training and orientation needed once you enter into duty --Burn-out is common (seen it in many colleagues), but nothing seems to be done to make things better or ensure it doesn't happen again
