I was looking for the list of strong mid-market investment banks from which you can lateral to Bulge Bracket Banks or Elite Boutiques in Dubai but could not find much. I'd really appreciate it if someone in the region could shed some light on mid-market investment banks or boutiques in Dubai. From my research, I found a few but don't know whether those are good enough to lateral to BBs or EBs in Dubai.
