Answer 1

Hi there,

A candidate of mine just had a McKinsey Dubai interview last week. So yes, they are still recruting though at a much lower volume than before.

Sharing here a guide that you will find useful in terms of how to set up your application strategy to diversify your risk and get at least one offer:

Answer 2

Hi Ankit,

yes, recruiting in Dubai, while more selectively than in the past 2 years, is still happening.

Note that recruiting of these firms will focus mostly on 2024 start dates already.

Hope this helps.

Regards, Andi

Hi Ankit,

My understanding is that they are still generally recruiting. This does depend on the exact firm + office + role though. It is also a constantly evolving situation.

Keep networking and keep speaking with people to see when/if roles open.
