Foreign architect looking for a job in Istanbul

Hı Jose...

Your second point stands as is.

For the first point,  people barely speak English in Turkey with exception of a few.  As far as I've interacted with locals,  people including managers,  directors and even at higher positions often don't speak English at all.. If you hope to find some reasonable clients,  you'll need to learn Turkish (and for architecture, a LOT of connections). Period

Hope this helps.
Good luck

Hi Xeeschan,

Thank you for your advice. I´m starting to learn a bit turkish, but I think it´s going to take me ages to speak properly. My hope is to find a job meanwhile , in an office in which they speak english.
