Consulting Options in EMEA

Hi all, 

I am currently interviewing with a Tier 2 in FS (I have previous IB experience) who seem to be rushing the process a bit. I am however torn between remaining in Europe (where I'm doing my MSc in Finance), returning home to Africa (to join MBB/BB) or trying completely new geography by going to the ME. 

Do you have any thoughts on the differences in the types of work/firms that I may come across in Europe vs ME vs Africa?
