A few tips that helped me:

Brush up on Middle East context — stuff like Vision 2030, public sector work, and large-scale transformation projects. Even just showing you’ve read up goes a long way.

Be ready to do math quickly and clearly — they don’t baby you through the numbers.

Fit questions can feel more like a chat, but they’re still testing for stuff like teamwork, leadership, and whether you’re serious about the region.

Also, don’t be afraid to challenge assumptions or ask clarifying questions — they like people who think critically, not just agree with everything.

I used High Bridge when I was prepping — their PEI and case coaching helped a lot, especially for interviews that are a bit more unstructured like OW’s.

You’re close — just keep it sharp and show them you’re someone they’d want on a project. Good luck!

Thank you for all the advice, that’s really helpful.
Unfortunately I didn’t make it through the 2nd interview stage, but this is helpful context for future applications

There is an opportunity that I’m currently interviewing for that is very interesting to me. I’m interviewing two other places but I’m not responding to LinkedIn emails for other positions. The other positions don’t interest me as much. On one hand I don’t want to waste time prepping for all positions and rather put that time only for the ones that I have going on, on the other hand I feel like what is that falls through. Wondering if I’m making the right choice
