Hi Atul,

First of all, best of luck int his journey!

My #1 advice to you is to stay determined/hardworking/dedicated. It is a hard/long journey but if you put your mind to it you can transition.

I don't have insights specifically into the energy and utilities consulting market in the UAE, but this is exactly what networking is for! I highly recommend you get out there, reach out to people and get on the phone/meeting in person - you'll find it's immensely rewarding!

Hello,

Sounds like you have a very strong professional background and would be a great candidate for consulting within energy & utilities! 

I don't know what the specific current dynamics for consulting in energy and utilities are in the UAE, but from my time in consulting I can tell you that those firms / industry practices were always in demand and had plenty of work, so I'd imagine you'll have a good pick of opportunities once you do some research. Most major consulting firms have practices that specialize in energy (e.g., Electric Power & Natural Gas practice at McKinsey). You would be well-suited for a specialist position in those practices, I recommend taking a look at some of those. 

Hi Atul,

feel free to reach out via DM - happy to take a brief look at your CV and advise specifically which firms might make sense to target and how you can best do that.

Hope this helps.

Regards, Andi
