Hi,
I'll soon be starting at a Dubai based MBB firm in 2 months. I was looking for must-haves, shopping list for women in consulting to have a basic wardrobe ready before starting. And advice?
Thanks!
I worked for 2 different projects in Dubai. Although my advice for a woman specifically can be relatively limited, happy to help as much as I can. Feel free to reach me. Congrats on your offer.
I can help you since my girlfriend, as well as most of my female friends, are currently working for the Firm.
First advice: always have ready in the luggage two changes per offsite week of traditional professional attire (e.g., dark blue/black woman suit, elegant closed toe shoes - heels are welcome);
Second advice: be particularly careful since many target locations of Dubai-based engagements are actually in Countries (e.g., Saudi) where Abaya (traditional Arab cloth) may be required.
Hello!
Feel free to send me a message if you want to discuss about my personal experience. I was also involved in the Women at McK and girls recruiting.
Cheers!
