Recruitment in the Middle East after a specialized masters like Msc Strategic Management from a school like HEC Paris

I'm an SE Asian who's considering a career in Consulting preferably in the Middle East and have an admit from HEC for their Msc Strategic Management program. I wanted to know about the perception of specialized degrees and the chances for a SE Asian at Middle Eastern offices. I have visited Middle East quite a bit to visit my relatives. 

Any insight is appreciated.

Thanks,

From my LinkedIn adventures, ICL's MSc Econ. and Strategy alumni have landed positions in consulting firms in the UAE at least, and it's a "specialized" program I guess.
