Hello
I hope you're doing well.
I've heard there's been a slowdown in business activity in the Middle East, and that firms like Bain, McKinsey, and even some boutiques are freezing recruitment—or worse, letting people go. Do you know what's driving this trend? Could it be that Saudi Arabia is becoming more cautious with the budgets allocated to management consulting firms? And when do you think the situation might return to normal?
Kind regards
Hi there,
I believe it's part of the global slowdown in consulting hiring that we've been experiencing for a while now.
The Middle East was one of the few regions that were still hiring quite a lot, but indeed now it's seemingly slowing down here as well.
Unfortunately, there's not much that you can do about it. You can only validate with the recruiters whether they are still recruiting or not, and when they do, do your best to submit a successful. application.
Best,
Cristian
