Hi all — I’m a Manager at a Big Four in London with 7 years’ experience in sustainable finance (banking, sustainability strategy & implementation).

I’m exploring the Dubai market and trying to understand what opportunities look like in this space. I’m not seeing many roles posted on LinkedIn — is demand strong but less advertised, or is the market still developing?

I’m negotiating my salary, and I’m curious what a reporter/digital editorial lead makes at your company? I have 15+ years of experience in employee communications and TV news, and I live in the Seattle area. I think I’m being shortchanged bc I’m asked to do some of my previous manager’s responsibilities (he was promoted), but I’m paid as a reporter. I report to my director who reports to our SVP, and I’ve worked for this Fortune 20 company for 10 yrs. Any info would be helpful. Thank you!

Can I lie and tell HR that I have an counter-offer of X amount to negotiate the offered amount? Ya uska bhi proof dena padta hai ab?

Have below three offers. Please help me to choose right company.

Hey guys
I am desperately looking to buy an 3bhk apartment in Bangalore for last 3+ years now. Anyone bought flat recently and are you liking the quality and atmosphere surrounding? Please refer. Our highest preferences are:
1. children & elderly friendly,
2. close to ORR (office commutable distance is the key thing for this. We both are working in Hebbal and Banaswadi)
3. Spacious apartment
Please suggest if you know a good apt.

What brands are you really into at the moment? Would be great to think about and be inspired by those doing a great job!

If some of the key creative leaders in your agency are actively advocating against recommending our clients take action for George Floyd or Black Lives Matter, what would you recommend doing?

Does the addition of “(level) II” make a difference to anybody? I am the only marketing communications specialist for a lead child-welfare nonprofit. We oversee four counties in two circuits. Director recently gave me add’l merit-based raise (after my annual raise, been here 14 months) & slight title change to Marketing Comm Specialist II. No plans to add a level 1 (would be lower) specialist but will add level 1 engagement specialist to team. Should I update resume/cards or is this confusing?

Need referal for pwc, infosys, e&y, kpmg, Accenture, wipro
Guys pls help 🙏

I currently average 60h/week in BCG

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?

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.

how is recruitment in general happening in Dubai at the moment? I was told it slows down during Eid and now with summer around the corner, recruitment activities are not high..

any comments ?

Hello everyone, I am new the community , I have my own consultancy firm based in Abu Dhabi and looking to partner or follow rate with others to expand my client reach. My focus is in digital transformation, organization. Change and learning and development

Can anyone let me know how easy it is to apply to a consulting firm in Dubai directly coming from London? I am currently working at a T2 strategy firm in London and my partner and I want to relocate in ~1.5 years. My firm does not have an office in Dubai whilst my partners firm does. Is it possible to apply straight (rather than moving laterally in London, waiting a few years then transferring?) interested in MBB views too. (I would have roughly 2.5 YOE by then)

Hi all, I have recently received an entry level offer from BCG Dubai.
