I want to receive updates regarding this question via email.

Management consulting firms in the MENA region: what is the difference

Hi folks!

Does anyone know/can share information on how BCG, McK, Kearney, and Strategy& differ from each other in Dubai - office size (I've heard that MBB is not a leader there), type of projects, opportunities to relocate within the company, industries covered, and other interesting facts.

Thanks:)

Hi there,

I would be happy to share my thoughts on it:

  • I would highly advise you to reconsider the priority of trying to compare these factors, as most of them tend to be similar depending of the location (i.e., Dubai), and office size should not be any concern at all when choosing a future employer.
  • Instead, think about what sets a great employer apart from an average one to you, and research these aspects by reaching out to current employees within each company in Dubai.

If you would like a more detailed discussion on how to address your specific situation, please don't hesitate to contact me directly.

Best,

Hagen

Hi there,

“Please give me a hollistic comparison across all the firms across all of the metrics that matter”.

This is what you need to learn to do as a consultant if you want to work here! I highly recommend you get googling, researching, and networking. This is on you to 1) Figure out exactly what you want to find out and 2) Ask the right questions to get those answers

Please don't boil this answer here by trying to compare all these firms across office size, project types, reloation, industries, culture, etc. etc. Simplify and figure out what matters!

Just like in a case…you need to be objective-driven and focus only on what matters.

Hi there, 

Aside from googling, you might get more out of this question if you reach out for a coffee chat to consultants already working in that office. It's a great change to network. 

I laid out here the process as to how to do it effectively: https://www.preplounge.com/en/articles/coffee-chat-questions-consulting

Best,
