I believe it’s common for MBB. I saw many moved to the US/UK/Europe from Bain Dubai office

Easiest is to transfer offices to a country where you have a right to work but you need to have a stellar track record because your ME experience is typically discounted. Next option is to get a job in the US or Europe after an MBA. If you are moving geographies and industries at the same time, it’s much harder - almost impossible at a senior level.

You can move to the big 4 in most countries from a top firm pretty easily

Easy. You solved unemployment, large scale transformations, converted family business to sustainable ones, smart city implementations, etc…throw the buzzwords and you’re good

My ADHD has been a massive barrier for me in my career. I can’t stay at a job for more than 1.5 years.

My ADHD keeps me from being a consistently great performer. When I manage my ADHD, I am amazing. And when I fail to manage it, I fall short. And everyone then wonders why I can’t do my basic job responsibilities.
It’s frustrating. I am V qualified, talented and capable, but this thing is killing me. Everyone I know is getting ahead and I’m constantly struggling even though I’m ambitious.
😞
