GCC Finance/MBB — Jobs amid the Iran-US-Israel war
With the conflict now in its second week and the Gulf still very much in the thick of it, curious to hear from others in finance and consulting across the region.
A few things I’m trying to understand:
Job security
How are firms treating headcount right now? Are recently onboarded people more exposed, or are firms broadly protecting roles regardless? Wondering whether the instability is giving anyone cover to quietly restructure.
WFH and temporary relocation
A number of banks and MBB firms have clearly allowed staff to work remotely from abroad temporarily. How long are these arrangements lasting in practice? Are firms being genuinely flexible given the ongoing strikes, or is there pressure to return to the UAE as soon as airports reopen?
Longer term sentiment
This one’s harder to answer but probably most important. Are people planning to stay long term, quietly reassessing their GCC bet, or genuinely undecided? Particularly interested in hearing from people who relocated with families.
