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.

Advice on taking and passing the SPHR exam?

Lately, I've been hearing a lot from my peers about how sales isn't a real profession.
I work at a tech startup and it mostly comprises developers. They can't stop emphasizing their importance in the food chain and I can't figure if I'm too humble or they're too arrogant.
This yapping comes from people I've known since college. I have successfully blocked all such negativity but wanted to know if anyone here has faced such scenarios.
