Are there any good options for consulting in Dubai? Looked through some profiles on linked in but didn’t seem very promising.

The 5 biggest shops in the region in no particular order are Mck, BCG, S&, OW, Kearney. However right now is an absolute blood bath for the region due to the combined impact of Covid and low oil prices. Consulting budgets are getting destroyed and even with past completed projects there is no guarantee you get paid. Restructuring, a very nascent field in the region, is taking off.

I work in the Middle East. Lots of consulting. Heavily focused on public sector. Very competitive. Most projects are in Saudi. Top firms are bcg, strategy& (+pwc), mckinsey .

There’s loads. Which sector?

I know an ex-ZSer currently working at the life sciences branch of a Dubai consultancy firm

Dubai is heavy on public sector consulting if that’s of any interest to you

Looking related to business operations, regardless of industry. Want to explore or grow in any sector where I can drive synergies for business growth. Thought of airlines and civil but from my research seems like these sectors are monopolized in the Middle East really no “consulting” happening locally. MBB driving most of it from London (not 100% sure about this).

Realizing why agencies are still struggling to find enough Business Affairs employees. And know several people who this has happened to. One is pay. Salaries have been going up the last year or two. And some agencies aren’t raising their pay as fast as others. But another big factor is employers are trying to find candidates that check every box. So if a candidate has 19 out of 20 required skills or experiences, they aren’t being given offers. Even if that one piece can be easily taught …
