Hey guys,
I was recruited by a top firm at their Dubai office as an entry level Associate right out of B-school. But now my starting date has been delayed by 6 months. The HR told me that this is the case for the whole Associate class. I will complete my masters in September and will have nothing to look forward to (I was really excited as this would be my first real job). It will be great if you could answer the following queries:
1. Has this happened to other firms in the region? Is there a chance that the firm could still cancel my offer?
2. I have nothing to do after September. What should I look forward to or do? - No one is hiring for internships and it is really difficult to look for an alternative FT offer elsewhere in Europe at this time.
3. How can I leverage my potential FT offer at the firm on my CV when applying to other roles?
