Summer Associate Middle East

Hello,

I am an MBA candidate, and I am applying for the summer associate position at Bain Middle East. However, I am hesitating concerning the ranking of preferences. I want to target the office where the Private Equity practice is the most developed (Dubai), but I am not sure that there are some spots available there. Do you think that I can still put Dubai in the first position? How about Riyadh and Doha?

Does a ranking like this make sense?

Dubai: 40% / Riyadh: 30% / Doha: 30%

Thank you !

Hello,

I would advise you to rank them based on your preference, and depending on demand/supply of candidates and how well you do in the interviews (and credentials), you might be able to negotiate an offer in Dubai - although most consulting firms in the Middle East are generally pushing to hire in Riyadh and Doha before Dubai.

Best,
