Bain & Company Hi Consulting Fishes of ME,

I am a Consultant with BCG India. I am looking to transition to ME region. Can someone provide some insights of the current recruitment status in their offices.

Why would anyone want to transfer from India, the global growth engine and amazing vibrant country? The food, people, festivals, opportunities, purchasing power are second to none.

I mean.. he/she would not be leaving India… the UAE is just a neighborhood from India ☺️🤣

Internal transition is your best bet. DM

And i would say if you can delay by 12/24 months your chances would probably be higher

Agree. Internal transition with BCG is best. We we are barely accommodating internal transfers from India (and RoW) to the ME

Dubai is a no go even from other ME
Other ME are case by case. Macro context not encouraging

Lots of transfers happened from all cross the world and currently its very tough.

There is an Indian company TransformationX you can try there!

helpful

Sure will check it out

The Founding Partner at Transformation X is ex BCG Dubai and he prefers BCG consultants. He is growing his business. No harm in trying.
For other consulting firms, hiring is limited due to reduced business from KSA. Some firms are taking rest after firing spree. We all hope the situation will change a few months down the line.

What’s the best way to turn down a 2nd interview? During the 1st interview, I learned that the compensation for the role is not within the range that I am looking for and requires 400 more billable hours a year than what I bill now. I’d basically be laterally for my current salary just to bill 400 more hours. I also wasn’t aware that the local office was strictly ID. Firm website advertises lots of practice areas. Any advice? TIA!
