Hello!! Strategy& is the strategy consulting arm of PwC (closer in style and work to MBB). I have dozens of MBA friends who came from Strategy&, some say it’s the firm that sponsors the most MBAs in the UAE. Salary is very competitive (just slightly below MBB), and their project pipeline is strong, especially in public sector and transformation work

Hi there,
You can think of Strategy& as the specialised strategy / management consulting branch of PwC.
They are strong in the middle east, and generous from what I hear about MBA sponsorships (anyway, in most cases, MBA sponsorship can also be negotiated from situation to situation).
What I'd recommend you do is connect with consultants from ME offices of Strategy& and get a first impression directly from them. Here's an article that outlines how you can source these contacts (the articles explains this with the purpose in mind of getting a referral, but relevant nonetheless):
Best,

Hi There,
Strategy& is PWC's Strategy Consulting arm as already mentioned above. PWC does have consulting, but they tend to operate with much longer project timelines and run implementation (e.g., Think System implementations). Strategy& tends to be pretty competitive salary wise and work wise is going to be more attuned to what you see at MBB and other Strategy shops. I believe in terms of work like many Strategy consulting firms there is going to be a larger focus on the AI shift.
Hope this helps!
