Hi ME 🐠s! Would like to know a bit regarding Business Analyst roles in MBB, T2 / B4 firms in UAE. I come from a target school in India (say MBB / T2 hires from my college every year) with ~1 YOE in consulting - based in Dubai. Would the stated firms consider me for a BA role (lateral hire as an experienced BA)?

I agree, was simply trying to set expectations. Trying ain't hurt nobody so I guess that's what I'll be doing. Thanks for your advice, appreciate it!

You’d probably go in as a BA, some firms are still hiring, just apply and see

Sounds like it! Thanks for your advice, appreciate it!
