What are challenges to get back to NA after a few years in the Middle East? Would NA take you back after a few years away from the region?

First hand experience - it's difficult but not impossible. Experiences are different and NA firms know that. But also depends on where you work in the ME. If for a well known firm that would improve chances vs. Local or non-NA based firm

Has anyone really faced a difficulty? I am considering this myself.

When you say "get back" I'll assume u worked in NA in the past, if so, you shouldn't run into issues with finding a job

Hey all- I’m a L&D Professional with some sales experience. I want to jump into Sales L&D but many roles require sales experience. I’ve helped close complex sales for large scale project work but have never been held accountable to monthly revenue targets since it wasnt my primary role with the exception of a brief time spent as an SDR. Looking for input if I should just go for Sales L&D positions or start as an AE and then apply for Sales L&D. Currently have interview for AE role with Gartner.

Hi everyone,

I spent 2 years at McK in Asia, currently doing in-house strategy at a bank. I am hoping to return to consulting, targeting ME region, especially Dubai and Doha.

Exchanged some email with a McK recruiter, but haven’t heard back since I sent them my CV.

1. Is there a hiring freeze in ME at McK?
2. Is anyone willing to refer for BCG or Bain?
