"Hit the ground running" means "sink or swim, and we throw you a 60lb weight on day 1."

That's a big one for me. Any position above entry level, it's assumed you should be able to hit the ground running. So if they're calling it out in a job posting, there's a good chance the train left the tracks a long while ago, and they're frantically looking for another set of brakes to grind down to metal.

Hello, folks! I wonder if you have any advice/info for a person who is looking for an "investment associate" role in Dubai. I have a financial audit background (4 years Big-4), 1,5 year in deal advisory (half year financial due diligence department, 1 year valuation department). I have experience in TMT, retail, Energy and Utility and other industries. Currently I'm living in Eastern Europe.
What is considered to be normal in relation to WBL, compensations in Dubai for such role or similar?
