BCG Middle East hiring timeline?

Hi!

BCG’s Middle East hiring timelines vary a bit depending on the role type and office, but there are some clear patterns.

Graduate / Associate / Consultant roles:

• In the UAE (Dubai/Abu Dhabi) & Saudi, BCG typically posts entry-level Associate and Consultant roles once per year, with applications opening in late summer and deadlines in the fall (often around October). For the current cycle, Dubai Associate roles are expected to close in October 2025.

Experienced hires:

• If you’re looking at mid-career Consultant roles, these are more often filled on a rolling basis and may appear throughout the year as demand arises. Right now, many of BCG’s Middle East postings are in digital/tech practices (e.g., BCG X, Platinion) in Dubai, with generalist consultant openings expected later in the year.

Hey there :)

BCG Middle East hires consultants mostly on a rolling basis, so openings can pop up any time. That said, most full-time roles are usually posted around late summer to early fall, but not tied to a strict timeline. If you plan for 2026, just keep an eye on their careers page and network with the offices.

Hi there,

BCG Middle East typically recruits for consultant roles on a seasonal cycle, with main hiring waves in late summer/early fall (August–October) and sometimes a smaller wave in January–February. Openings for Dubai and Riyadh are usually posted around these periods, aligned with both MBA graduation timelines and local staffing needs.

That said, BCG ME also posts off-cycle openings if demand is high, so it’s worth keeping an eye on their careers site year-round and staying in touch with recruiters or current consultants in the region.

If you’re targeting this year, expect postings to go live towards the end of summer, with interviews running into the fall.

Best,

Evelina

This will depend on the specific office.
