Middle East Consulting Hiring

Hi,

I grew up in Dubai (did my schooling there) and moved to Canada for undergrad. Looking for roles in consulting as my family is still there and I see myself living in the Middle East rather than North America. I come from a decent university (not consulting target) and have previous internship experience with Big 4 Consulting firms. I also have basic Arabic knowledge. 

I'm not sure how to go about the job search. Do I network with people or should I just cold apply? I tried to reach out to people over LinkedIn but did not receive any responses. Would love to get some insights about the hiring process/connect with someone who's been through it.

Thanks.
