This depends on what you are solving for:

  • Career progression
  • Salary
  • Growth opportunities
  • Brand / Prestige
  • Exit options

Overall, Monitor is a strong name in the Middle East and would yield the highest score on the above. A&M is strong in its niche and if you know that's where you want to be than it makes sense. However this is a personal question for you

Hey A!

While choosing between several options take into consideration several crucial points: culture, employee satisfaction, and workload. Try to reach out to some alumni and people who work for the companies and talk. 

Do not only make your choice based on the salary! Your future workplace will shape you and your life, so take it seriously

If you need any help - reach out.

Given you haven't listed your preferences, goals here, I'm going to assume you're about money and prestige. If maximizing money and prestige, Deloitte is the choice.

Which one is the better FIT for you in terms of your career aspirations, values and risk apetitie? Dont make the decision purely based on $$, brand image or peer pressure. Choose that which is a better fit as it will allow you to give your best and enjoy the work. Money & success will come.

Hello!

I would build a matrix with the valuable KPIs for you, and fill it, this would give you many insights. 

Without knowing anything else, I would go with Monitor -for the international alumni and prestige-. 

Hope it helps!

Cheers, 

Clara
