They tell you about it
I was quickly able to take advantage of international mobility and join the teams in New York.
Thomas, Consultant in the New York office (Quanteam North America)
Having always wanted to work internationally, after two years on assignment in Quanteam's Paris office, I shared my desire for mobility with my manager and was able to join Quanteam North America, in 2017, in New York. We quickly identified the type of position that would suit me, validated my profile with several American clients and started the administrative procedures to obtain a VISA. Throughout the process, I was supported by Quanteam's HR teams in France and staff in New York to answer any questions I might have had about settling in the USA. I've now been working as Front Office Application Support in New York for six years, and was promoted to Team Manager a year ago. Quanteam's expertise has made a major contribution to my successful integration here and my progress in my mission.
Thanks to Quanteam, I've been able to blossom in the U.S.
Josselin, IT Consultant at Quanteam North America - in the USA since 2018
In 2015, I met the Quanteam teams at a student trade fair in Paris Dauphine and immediately got a good feeling. I joined the firm as Trade Support / Front Office and started an assignment with a Paris-based client. In 2018, I wanted to change my life and expressed the wish to move abroad. Quanteam was very open and offered me a move to the firm's New York office, as well as an assignment with one of its prestigious customers in the Banking sector. The Quanteam North America teams were very efficient in their support and took care of the whole administrative process (green card...) and, within three months, I was able to move to the United States. Over there, I discovered a new culture and a new continent, while keeping in touch with what makes Quanteam's DNA so strong: the closeness with management (Jean Etienne) and the teams, as well as the conviviality that can be found at the events regularly organized by the firm (roof-top afterwork, NBA basketball game, boat cruise...).
