Hi there,

This is indeed an interesting question which is probably relevant for a lot of users, thus I am happy to provide my perspective on it:

• Logically speaking, if the position is still open on December 29th, it's reasonable to assume that the position will be available for hiring in 2023. It would be difficult for the company to hire someone for a position that is open on December 29th and have them start working in 2022, as it would not allow sufficient time for the hiring process to be completed.
• It's still a good idea to check with the company directly to get the most accurate and up-to-date information about their hiring processes and requirements. You could try reaching out to the company's recruitment department to inquire about their current hiring needs and requirements. It's also possible that they have information about their open positions and application processes available on their website or through other channels, such as social media or job search websites.
• Please keep in mind that in many cases, companies will have a separate process in place for considering candidates who have been referred by current employees. This can often involve a separate application process or a special referral landing page on the company's website. If you have secured a referral from the BCG office in Dubai, it would be a good idea to ask the person who provided the referral for more information about how the referral process works at the company.

In case you want a more detailed discussion on what to do in your specific situation, please feel free to contact me directly.

Best,
