Investment Banking Comps Middle East
Hi guys,
I hope everyone is doing well
I'm an intern in IB in London (European background) and I'm interested in a career in IB in the Middle East (Dubai) but I want to understand what are the pros/cons
-
What is the comps there ? (BofA, GS, MS, JPM, Rothschild) I heard USD 7.5k but not sure
-
What are the exits ? PE funds in this region are quite different from London
-
Is it possible to move in IB/PE in London after a couple of years in Dubai ?
-
What is the culture/worklife balance/hours there ? A lot of European in this region if I'm correct
Feel free to share any thoughts on this
Thank you in advance
A
Moelis?
Interested also!
following also, did you hear anything?
Based in the Middle East. Salaries are close to NY salaries (starting more than USD 8,000 a month in most shops); obviously 0 income tax. Exit opps are mainly SWF and they’re relatively easy to land if you want that. Culture is definitely less brutal in most places than what I hear from the NY guys (not sure about London).
Can you get away with only speaking English or do you often need to be bilingual to work over there?
Yes, plenty of guys in my firm that do not speak arabic (one of the firms mentioned)

You guys know what's the avg comp for VP / D level in Dubai?
HH keep telling it's in line with the US but find it hard to believe (e.g. UK is significantly lower)
Thanks
Don't know about comp but Rothschild Dubai is very Russian nowadays since the war. Since it's an oil hub, they moved their Moscow office to Dubai.
