Good evening, PrepLounge community!
I hope everyone is doing exceptionally well.
As I navigate through the final rounds of interviews, I've been asked to rank my preferences for Kearney's offices in the Middle East—specifically Dubai, Doha, and Riyadh. Given the current market dynamics, my paramount concern is to secure a position. My familiarity with Dubai's lifestyle and its highly competitive, potentially saturated market makes me cautious about placing it at the top of my list. While I have less insight into Doha's opportunities, I understand that Riyadh is actively hiring and represents a growing market, which seems like a safe bet for my first preference.
However, as an Indian expat, I'm seeking advice on which location would be most suitable, both professionally and personally. Could you share your insights or recommendations on prioritizing these offices? Any advice on navigating these markets as an expat, and how each city caters to professional growth and personal well-being, would be invaluable. Your expertise and experiences would greatly aid in my decision-making process.
A little about me: I'm an Indian expat with my sights set on landing a role at Kearney. For the next five years, I'm all in on pushing my career forward. While I'm eager to prioritize my professional growth, I'm also open to balancing other aspects of my life as needed. Career progression is at the forefront of my plans.
