Can you elaborate why?
Region choice. ME consulting is a sinking boat
why would u want to come here ?
Because the offices are downsizing, read the room
You should be downsized. Gosh calm down.
I was this in 2024.
Applied aggressively while overseas but only landed like 2 interviews in 1 year.
One was a screening role with Deloitte (I was ex Deloitte) and other was first round with PWC.
Both ghosted me.
You have two options:
1. You need luck to land a role to come here. Market is full of consultants from all backgrounds and nationalities so why would they pay to bring you? If you have exceptional talent that they can't staff locally, then yes (this was like 2015-2023).
Otherwise no.
2. Pack up your stuff and come here on a tourist visa and try your luck for 3 months. Meet people, network, get references and then you would still need luck to land a role.
I did #2 and got lucky to land a role.
Market is very bad and roles are limited with so many people getting OC'ed. No job is safe.
Choose carefully.
Or transfer internally / secondment
The market is very tight right now. There are thousands of consultants available and happy to work as subcontractors without any relocation. It could work only if you have a very specific and in demand niche.
