Bain & Company Hey Fishes - I’m trying to move back from US to the gulf. KSA, UAE, or Qatar. Interviewed with a smallish consulting company but they decided my profile was more senior for the role. Applying online didn’t get me good salary.

Any advice or anyone willing to refer me?

Background in human capital/leadership development. 15 years exp. Arabic speaker. Targeting SM in consulting or in-house.

The regional consulting market is booming . 15 years is too much for most roles as SM. Tweak your CV and consider joining as sub contractor making your way to permanent job .

Thank you for the tips. I’ll edit my CV. Joining as a contractor will be difficult as I already have a full time. No guarantees on amount of work or moving to full-time after. Thanks for the tips.

Why move back? Wouldn’t it be lower comp?

@MK in my research pay is sometimes higher other times lower in the US for same company. But reduced cost of living especially rent and lower taxes makes it a better deal to work abroad. You dont pay the same taxes as an american expat. You actually start paying above 100k per year and only federal.
I got an exact same role in a company here in chicago and saudi arabia, and only based on the tax and rent savings I would make 25% more to move abroad. But the salary for that particular role wasnt what I’m expecting.

Curious to know the salary for an SM role in the Middle East in usd?
