I'll mostly get a transfer to the US from my firm in the next year, but am contemplating an offer from one of the MBBs in India

MBB in India > MBB in Dubai

I've heard from few friends that it's a relatively much better city than anywhere in Middle East. But main idea is to maximize my earnings for a few years. Extremely hard to get a US transfer at MBB from what I heard, next best option is Dubai :/

Bain & Company Is it truly easier to get in a smaller MBB office?

Have heard a lot for different opinions on these. The logic is that it’s easier because there is a lot of supply in cities like NY, Chicago and SF, but the counter argument is that the offices with less supply are also way smaller and have a lot less demand.
