Hi,
I just graduated with a Bachelor of Engineering in North America. Last October, I received an offer, which I signed, from Kearney for a Business Analyst position in Dubai with my starting date in September 2020.
Today, I received a call from HR explaining they were pushing my strating date to January 2021. A decision that I fully understand given the current Covid context and the shrunk pipeline of projects.
Two questions:
1) Does anyone know what's happening in the other Top tier firms in the Middle East region? For exemple, I heard Oliver Wyman did the same thing as Kearney.
2) What to do during the 4 month of September to December? Try to grab a nice internship in a domain I wanna explore to fill the gap on my Resume? Focus on my GMAT/GRE test and ace it for potential MBA? Or/and get a online certifcate in a domain I like and in which I could deepen my skills, like Data science. (ex. MITx MicroMasters, HBS Online... worth it though?)
