11K-AVML,
Hi, It depends upon what skills you have and what areas you wish to specialise in. ATM is becoming more and more specialised and I'm not sure what you do as an ATM analyst. But the areas where ATM needs specialists are e.g. Future ATC equipment design, STCD - short term conflict detection, MTCD - medium term conflict detection, airspace design and optimisation. Some of these areas require a knowledge of fast-time simulation. This involves a great deal of analysis from input to interpretation of the results. Have a look here for an indication of what areas are involved in just one of those areas - airspace and airport design and optimisation :-

Whilst this is not the only equipment on the market it should give you an idea as to the way that the industry is going.
Future ATC equipment design is basically concerned with developing equipment which allows the controller to handle more traffic than a single human being is capable of controlling. This might sound like an oxymoron, but it is basically equipment that monitors all traffic and alerts the controller to only those situations that require human intervention i.e the computer either cannot resolve the problem or there are conflicting solutions.
If you are unsure as to the area/s that you wish to pursue then you need to visit ATC centres, flow control units, equipment designers, airspace modellers, airport construction companies, airlines. The list is endless.
The best place to see a lot of this in action is in Amsterdam in March. See this link for what's on offer :-
Welcome to ATC Global 10 - Air Traffic Management & Air Traffic Control Exhibition & Conference
This is by no means a comprehensive list of the job opportunities that are available, but I hope it gives you a flavour of the areas that I personally think are the future areas that deserve keen young people to develop.
If you can get to Amsterdam I think you will be blown away by the equipment and future technnologies that are on display there.
As to working in Asia, I think you will find that the jobs that get you to Asia are those where you are working for an American, Australian or European company.
Whatever you choose I wish you the best of success.
