I'm working for a boutique out of Lebanon (KSA weekly travel) with good pay but worried about future and lack of brand on CV. DO you recommend moving to PwC in Dubai as SC? Any pay benchmarks? Thnx!

BAH MENA is doing a bad job at staying in business. While they are in tailspin, they’re making life a living hell for their staff. Stay away.

Unless you are at a strategy firm, or in PwC’s case, Strategy&, the pay is pretty low.

I had Deloitte offer me a director role in Dubai recently and it’s a bit lower pay than Associate at BAH, and much lower than what an SC would make. With that said, I’d still consider it for the branding if your goal is to move to a better consultancy.

Thanks M! In these uncertain times I'm considering to opt for the lower pay with a brand, for a while, to enable a move to a better consultancy as you said.
How is BAH MENA doing these days btw? I heard they are freezing recruiting?
