This question refers to the difference between Russian-speaking and English-speaking debates, because in fact there are quite more opportunities in English debates, because in Europe and in the US, even in the Asian countries debating institution is more developed than in Russia, unfortunately. English debates have value not only for the debating community itself, like it is in Russia, and not only for few outer actors like McKinsey or Uniliver companies, which have organized tournaments for recruiting in Russia. But English-speaking debates, in this aspect, are much cooler, because, from what I know, there are more companies and universities that have interest in recruiting cool debaters, for example, I've heard from my friend, that for some universities, specifically if speaking of Oxbridge, debating club membership will be an advantage. Moreover, qualifying for play-offs of international tournaments are equally accepted by these universities as English language certificate, don't know maybe it's a myth, but nonetheless. And career-wise there are more perspectives for debating trainers: in China, for example, debating can bring a lot of money, they have a school called "Learning leaders" which educates higher school students who will then perform at international school tournaments, so this school collects trainers from all over the world for quite good money, so that they would teach Chinese students how to debate. That's why Chinese debaters are super strong, outstanding, competitive and with a high level of English.
