Hi, I graduated from HEC Paris (Advanced Masters) last year. The job maket in the middle east didn't favour me then - there were a lot of laycoffs and companies went on a hiting freeze. I am working at a B4, clinet facing role. I plan to stay here for 1 more year before I think about mkvimg otherwise it looks bad on my CV to switch employers quote often. Any idea how should I spend the next 12 motnhs to network and lime up interviews for myself. Thank you so much

While you network, I would recommend you to start preparing yourself on case studies / training on modelling / having potential test for each firm.
A small tip: always have an interview with the firm which you are not interested in, but has a similar process to ensure that your casing/stories are perfect by the time you apply to your ‘dream’ firm
