Hello folks!
I grew up in Saudi Arabia, then moved to Canada for 11 years (for engineering studies+work), and I'm looking to come back to be closer to family. I leave my experience details below, but would really love to connect with anyone willing to share their insight on the industry back home!

Exp: 6YOE, 5 of which were in Deloitte Canada's Technology and Transformation team, with a strong background in transportation (aviation), financial services, and government (defense) industries.

Deloitte has a strong defense practice (they mainly do pmo & op models). Try networking with people there.

Great overall experience profile to come back to KSA habibi - espcially avaiation is booming given the tourist push and mega-projects.
Government had a slowdown due to budget cuts but still represents majority of work for consultants here.
Every consultancy here would be eager to hire a local with international Experience that is multilingual so you could even leverage to jump to T1

Thank you for the reply hbb I really appreciate it!
Can I DM you for a couple quick questions?
And To answer A1’s reply, I do consider myself a local given that I lived 18 years in Saudi (and love the country as my own- normal since all my childhood memories are there), but I know you may mean having Saudi citizenship. That, I dont have (I’m an Arab-Canadian).
