Hello there!
I did my MSc in International Management at ESADE and landed a consulting job in Dubai. Just from my MIM class (120 people), around 10 people did the same, effectively making consulting in Dubai one of the most popular choices among ESADE MSc graduates (UK and Germany being the other top ones).
BCG heavily recruits from ESADE and has (or at least had at the time I attended the Master) dedicated events for Middle East recruitment, and several other companies do the same (I remember attending Kearney's events among the others). Just for the fact that BCG has one of the largest offices here in Dubai, you will find most of the alumni employed there, but I can assure you that ESADE offers a good level of placement all across the Tier 1-3 consulting firms in Dubai.
Someone here mentioned Bocconi (which I attended for my Bachelors): in my opinion, Bocconi's careers team is less effective than ESADE's, especially due to the fact that ESADE has a much smaller MSc intake each year. On top of that, I personally consider the ESADE experience more enjoyable than the Bocconi one, both from a personal and from an academic perspective - but this is just a subjective view.
Hope this helps, please feel free to shoot me a message if you want to know more about consulting in the Middle East! Good luck with your MSc application!
Cheers,
Gianmarco
