Oooh, this sounds like fun! In terms of skillset, I’m looking at a potential opportunity but don’t have specific M&A experience. I’ve assessed a client’s current landscape and made tech recommendations based off of that. What would you recommend I look into, to improve my knowledge of the M&A aspect?

Can anyone let me know how easy it is to apply to a consulting firm in Dubai directly coming from London?
