Hey Fishes - I’m trying to move back from US to the gulf. KSA, UAE, or Qatar. Interviewed with a smallish consulting company but they decided my profile was more senior for the role. Applying online didn’t get me good salary.
Any advice or anyone willing to refer me?

Paper LBO is almost always informal and on the spot. For example, interviewer might describe a company, you discuss investment merits, and then he asks you for a valuation and you’ll sketch out a paper LBO on the spot. 2-5 minute exercise max.
Traditional full model is usually in middle of interview process and a more formal screening mechanism. You’ll get 1-3 hours (depending on complexity) to compete a prompt. Usually won’t discuss it but you’ll be passed/dropped to the next round depending on your model accuracy
