Hello! I'm currently getting my Bachelor's Degree and I'll be graduating in May 2023. My major focuses on Spanish Translation, I have a minor in Japanese, and I'll be receiving a certificate in Spanish for Professions when I graduate.

I’m in-house at a small company (60 people), started right out of law school about 5 years ago. We had a legal team of 5 then. Everyone has left and we just hired a new GC. I went from $70k to $100k a little over a year ago. I am expecting an offer from a firm doing business law work but think this might be an opportunity to go to my current employer and ask for a significant raise, with new offer in hand. Any thoughts or advice going into this?

By flexible I mean in terms of moving between positions, companies and technologies.

How is the market in Dubai for consulting, are you guys busy/hiring?

Does someone have information about Kearney Dubai. Would be highly interested in getting some insights about team events, benefits besides salary as well as hotels or flight classes. 

Hey habibis expats! The market in Dubai is obscure when it comes to compensation and benefits. I suggest we add clarity by posting salaries, role/position and years of experience here and anything else you want to add such as benefits. I’ll start:

- Industry: tech
- Role: finance manager
- YOE: 5 years
- Comp: 270k aed/year + 5% bonus
- Other benefits: work from Europe/US 1 month/year, 30 vacation days

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.

Got a Dubai Strategy& Senior Associate interview next week - anyone has tips/recommendations or things I should look out for? Maybe things that are different from the US.

I'm currently in a process for senior associate at a Big4. The process began on July, yet between the first and second interview it took like 3-4 weeks. And between the 2nd and 3rd like 7 weeks. I sent an email to HR during those weeks asking for an update and didn't have an answer. Then it a 3rd one was scheduled three times (the manager didn't connect to the first 2) and next week I have the last interview with 1 partner. Is the timing normal? Or were they looking for other candidates or what?

Hello everyone! Due to visa issues I will transfer from the US to another Bain office and was considering Dubai. How is WLB (amount of hours)? How flexible is the expense policy? Is it actually fun to be there? Thanks in advance!
