Honestly, get a job out of the region. Saudi is most likely never going to go back to the heights it was at, and other markets won’t have the volume of business or margins to justify the number of consultants already employed, let alone OC-ed ones

Struggled a lot and left the region. I earn way less in EU now but atleast not constantly on edge of being laid off.

Apply for freelance work at OW. All ex Kearney folk there

Concur with SharpMinds comment - the guy sabotaged an opportunity, creating the wrong impression with the client and then disappeared. Not recommended!

I also saw that Mastercard is expanding to Riyadh - check their LinkedIn posts

Is that to do with the fact that you mostly did public sector KSA work?

Mastercard is also about the to fire 4% of its workforce, just read some news around. Maybe better to wait few weeks before making the jump

Message me directly. Can connect you with a FI client who is hiring.

revolut reached out to me twice for a strategy role. check their team

don’t know they reached out to me twice. dm and i’ll share the recruiter name

Hi,
I have an offer with Citi, initially it was hybrid model and looks like they are moving back to wfo.. they told only now and I dont have any other offer in hand. due to personal constraints I need wfh or some flexibility types, but they seem a bit rigid as its not in their policy..
Is it good to join and then try pushing them for wfh.. or search for another offer..? 16 yoe, PM...

I want to be in private equity because I want to make a lot of money. I want to be in FAANG because I want to do interesting work but make only slightly more money than I’m making now.

I’m having a lot of trouble figuring out which to pursue.
