From Big-4 Deal advisory in Eastern Europe to IB in Dubai

Could you give an advice for someone who wants to pivot into "investment associate"/similar role in Dubai? What companies can I fit in with my current background?

I am a deal advisory consultant with financial audit background (4 years Big-4). I work at a Big-4 company in valuation department for 1 year, previously gained solid experience in financial due diligence department same company (0,5 years).

I value WLB more than money. I appreciate any advice. Thanks in advance
