Hello Fishes
Just wanted to know if it's conducive to apply directly as opposed to a referral. Looking for opportunities within MBB and other consulting firms within the region.
Wanted to know if there is success in applying coldly as opposed to a referral at the Dubai offices for these firms?
Any suggestions would be much appreciated.
Thank you.

For non-tech roles, is getting your resume pst screening really the hardest part? I’m being led to believe that once they pass along my resume to the hiring manager, they’re unlikely not to put you into loop, and unless you bomb the loop by not preparing, you have a very high likelihood of an offer. Is that really true? Is getting your resume past the auto-rejection the biggest hurdle for non-tech applicants?

I’d like to work for the FBI either as a Special Agent or Professional Staff as a Forensic Accountant. I am currently a Senior Forensic Accountant at a public accounting firm but we mainly handle commercial damage calculations, business valuations, and SOME investigations that one might think of as “was there fraud? We’re not sure, please Mr. Forensic Accountant can you take a look at our QBs?”
Question: is this experience preferable to the FBI? Or do they prefer the AML professionals? CPA + CFE
