Move dilemma:
Currently @ Arthur D. Little Limited Dubai as SE Manager w/ base comp of 285k $ + 10-15% bonus. Vert limited fit w/ people & projects in the region (MEI) & not motivated by seniors. Not happy w/ the job but good WLB. Very likely to promote to Pr which would include a 20-30% jump in total comp but shift to more variable
Move to MBB as PL. Projects & people are supposed to be great and he could see himself in the long run. Comp is 170k $ + 60% bonus. Will take 1.5y to move to Pr

Don’t take it personally. It’s nothing against you. Take some time to reflect on what you liked about your role and what you didn’t. Let’s optimize for the best next role
Thank you!
Dust off your resume, update LinkedIn so it shows you’re actively looking, write a list of people you want to connect with in your network, and immediately apply for unemployment. Do not be embarrassed.
Thank you!
I’d bet you learned a whole lot in under a year. Beyond on job duties navigating a corporate structure, receiving feedback, knowing how to manage time and team members etc. think of what you liked best/didn’t like and use it to direct your job search and in interview responses. Like others have said this won’t be seen as personal failure - but it can be framed to help you succeed! Best of luck!
Thank you!
Calm down. Make a financial plan. MBB and some other Big 4 firms are hiring. Big tech is hiring. Banks always love junior analysts they can exploit. Take a couple of days to tweak resume and LinkedIn. Make a list of target companies, and start contacting people. Everyone graduating now has to go somewhere.
Thank you! I appreciate the guidance.
You likely have undergraduate friends from school at other companies. Can they refer you?
I do. Unfortunately, I’m not sure how much clout referrals from junior folks such as myself have, but you’re right - definitely worth the shot.
Sorry to hear, OP. Which company, if I may ask?
Hey OP, I have never been laid off but have been through some tough paths in the past. I strongly believe there are so many dimensions that can contribute to worst/best work experience that you don’t have control on, that the best is smart resilience. Learn from failures and make better choices after. Happy to chat over DM if it can help :)
OP: let me know if you need any support on your resume or referral
Deloitte?
No, a boutique strategy firm. I’d rather not disclose specifics
