Strategy& Middle East salary for BA

While I don't have access to specific salary figures, I can give you a general idea based on my experience in the industry.

Salaries for Business Analysts at Strategy& in the Middle East can vary depending on factors such as location, level of experience, and educational background. Generally, the compensation package for entry-level positions in consulting firms in the Middle East is competitive and attractive.

In the Middle East, consulting firms typically offer a base salary that is comparable to other regions, taking into account factors such as cost of living and market conditions. Additionally, consulting firms often provide performance-based bonuses and benefits that can further enhance the overall compensation package.

To get a more accurate understanding of the expected salary range, I recommend reaching out to individuals who have worked at Strategy& in the Middle East or connecting with current employees through professional networking platforms. They may be able to provide more specific insights into the compensation structure and range for Business Analysts in that region.

Remember, it's important to consider not only the salary but also the overall career growth opportunities, learning and development programs, and the firm's reputation when evaluating a job offer. I wish you the best of luck in your pursuit of a career at Strategy& in the Middle East!

Hi there,

From personal sources I can tell you that base salary for all S&, BCG, MCK, OW, ATK, BAIN for entry-level consultant in the Middle East is around 5,000 USD. Allow additional 2,000 USD for accommodation in some of the locations (ex: Dubai).  Big4 is more around 3,500 USD.   

Cheers.

Hey there, typically an entry level associate would make around $80k a year excluding food expenses and annual bonus (10-15% of base). All in all the comp is closer to $100k. Keep in mind that there are also promotions almost every year (A1 to A2 to A3 etc.) for associates at S&. I'm pretty familiar with consulting in Dubai so let me know if you need more help. 

Dear A,

As for the entry position of Business Analyst in Strategy& Dubai office the base salary is 80 000 usd/anum plus bonuses. 

I have already helped several candidates to get offers from Strategy&. If you need any help or connections, feel free to reach out. 

Good luck,

André

Hey A,

First of all, my congratulations to your offer!

I already helped several mentees of mine to get into Strategy &. Actually One of them has also got an offer for Dubai office just on Monday.

I know the Managing Director of the region pretty well.

1. Good news - the company is willing to sponsor your MBA (i.e. INSEAD, LBS, Ivy League, etc.). The firm is respectable and your chances for an MBA are pretty high.
2. Yes, you can if you have done the projects in theses geographies in the past and have people, who can help you. I was working for RB in Kyiv/Ukraine, Munich/Germany and Dubai/UAE – I can help with a practical advice how to do your office transfers
3. Depending on the position – if you will tell me your current position I can tell you what you can expect next. In 2018 they offered me 220k all-in for a manager position.
4. If I were you, I would do an exit right after the MBA and ask the new employer to take over the fees ? I have some friends who did it that way  

Anyway, it a great start for you!

If you need any career advice, or want to connect to my mentees in the firm / in Dubai, just drop me a line ?

Best, 

André

Hello, congrats for the offer! 

First, do you have any other and you are trying to compare them, or is your only option?

To your points: 

1. Consulting is the background from a lot of people in top MBAs, and not only MBB, but also Strategy&. Think that they also want to have diversity in backgrounds and companies. 

2. In theory, yes. Even before. 

3. Best thing is to look it up at glassdoor, where actual candidates share that info.

4. If you do work with TMT, really good. If you don´t work wtih TMT that much but you are passionate about it or have a prior background, still good enaugh. 

Hello!

From your message I understand that you are "trying to understand the broad areas to look at when the client is a from the public sector"

However, it totally depends on what the case is asking you for. As outlined by previous answers, public companies are many times no different than private ones in terms of what they want and the problems they are facing. Hence, don´t make the mistake of thinking they need a totally different approach.

What determines the approach is mostly the case prompt, not the type of client/industry.

Hope it helps!

Cheers,

Clara

Hi,

1. Location is not important. Brand of the company is important. Also, it's important to tell them an interesting story. Double background (e.g. consulting + tech) usually helps a lot
2. 2. Similar to other companies - you should have a partner / partners in that country supporting your transition. Otherwise, it'll be hard
3. Glassdoor can help
4. Product roles will be close to impossible if you don't have prior product / engineering or at least product ops background. Usually, you can apply to Biz ops / Sales Ops / revenue / strategic finance teams
