Banking in Dubai?

As someone from the Middle East, I don't know if the US is the place to be for me in the long term. Could anyone provide information about the shops in Dubai, as it is a place I would be like to be in the medium term. Any input is much appreciated

Try to avoid it at all cost, as it's extremely hard to find shops that execute from Dubai office rather than shipping any meaningful work to their London teams. 

But if you must... I'd actually recommend global independent advisors in Dubai over the typical BBs. Evercore has recently hired a few meaningful seniors and do execute in parallel with its NY and London counterparts. PWP also has a relatively active presence.
