Hey there,

Your answer sounds good in terms of the content. If you want to appear a tad more structured you could number and signpost:

‘’I want to work in the Middle East for 3 reasons, 1….2….3…''

Potential other arguments:

• High growth and challenging environment
• International exposure in a very diverse office
• Specific types of projects
• Geographical footprint and hub situation in the middle between Europe and Asia
• Attractive expat contracts and tax regulations

Cheers,

Florian

The answer is ok, and is not off topic but this is not how you should approach this questions if you want to be seen as an outstanding candidate.

This says nothing about you and, most importantly, it says nothing about why should they hire you. You have to understand that the real question is not why you want Middle East… but rather whether the reasons you have are aligned with the target company, i.e., why should the Middle East office want you…

So your answer should highlight those things. 

Happy to discuss in private if you want to design an outstanding pitch.

2 comments from me (overlaps a bit with what others said):

1. Your reasons could be made more “punchy” in concise numbered bullets, if you're sending in written format. If it's a verbal presentation, I would open by saying, “There are X reasons (do 3 if possible - consultants love the number 3)…”. And then you go into each reason 

2. Don't forget to sell/ promote yourself. Why would you be suited for Middle East?

Happy to help you out here - having worked in BCG middle-east for 4+ years.

Drop me a message and we can work it out. The answer will need to be customized for you and your profile so we will need to discuss it thoroughly.

Hi!

They are all good points. You'll give a great answer by making it personal, i.e. specific to you and your ambitions/passions.

Hope this helps.

Best,
