What are the perks of MBB (more specifically BCG) in Dubai? Working hours, total compensation (A2 role), holidays, etc. Have been contacted by recruiter and thinking if I should go through the process as I am happy but not too excited about current role.

MBB North America is very different than MBB rest of world especially the middle east.

Hours are worse, culture is very different, a lot of government work in the middle east (especially Saudi), pay used to be good given lower tax rates I believe, but with pay increases only really happening in NA and inflation soaring pay looks a lot less impressive at the moment.

Take that all as you will

Not too useful, every country/region has its own culture and you have not provided specific / quantifiable examples.

Dubai has notorious WLB. Pay should be pretty good, Glassdoor will be roughly accurate. I’d assume you get 15 days of holiday (3 weeks).

I mean it’s a UAE labour law, it’s the same for everyone. 30 days PTO per year

Prior to Accenture, I have already served as S&O Manager with Deloitte India for ~1.5 yrs - so this would be my second stint with Deloitte as Manager "again".

2 questions:
1. Should I ask for Senior Mgr (AD) grade - to which they have already said NO
2. Is GBP 76.5K sitting at the lower end of M grade in Deloitte UK? What should be a good expectation for the role

Hi all, I’d love to hear from PR/Comms folks about the process of transitioning from agency to an in-house role.

Do you typically need more experience before going in house? Would be great to hear about various experiences from those that have made the transition. Thanks!
