Hi
I have just recently joined the forum and have found it very helpful. I am looking to possibly move to the Middle East, preferably Dubai and work in finance. I currently work for an investment bank in Australia, and although I am very happy with that I am looking for a “sea change”.
I have worked in investment banking for the last 4 years and have been lucky to build up a very full roller dex of clients/contacts, especially in the mining industry which I believe will be valuable in the future.
I am trying to get a feel for what the job market is like in Dubai at the moment. How badly has the current market situation hit UAE and the Middle East?
I believe I will be best suited working for a fund as my strength is my access to deal flow. I understand that several funds have been set up in Dubai recently, to invest in the mining industry and believe I am well positioned to serve these companies. However, I have yet to fully grasp whether or not these funds are hiring. Information in seem to be very scarce. Can anyone shed some light on this?
