Hello. I'm currently in the US, wondering how important education credentials are in Dubai vs experience. I have a decade of experience in finance and am at manager level. I don't have an MBA or masters degree.

I would recommend staying there. I can recommend more but I don’t know what you do and your nature of work. I assume you work for Accenture.

10 YOE and manager level. Have done strategy projects but experience is functional risk management, mostly while working in the banking industry, I haven't been at Accenture very long.
