Request for Potential IBD/PE Contacts/Leads - UAE

Hey Guys,

With regard to the above captioned subject, I would humbly request for any potential IBD/PE contacts/leads in the UAE region. I'm currently pursuing MSc in Finance from EDHEC Business School and post-graduation (this month), I strongly aim to pursue (front office) Investment Banking/Private Equity in the said region only. Consequently, I'm open to both, entry level and internship roles. A snapshot of my profile as follows:

Academic: - MSc in Finance - EDHEC Business School - Chartered Financial Analyst (CFA) - Level II cleared - Association of Chartered Certified Accountants (ACCA) - Affiliate - BSc in Applied Accounting - Oxford Brookes University

Professional: - Investment Banking Analyst (ECM) - 07 months - Investment Banking Analyst (Sell-side Advisory) - 06 months

From what I have been able to gather so far, recruitment in the said region is HIGHLY unstructured and networking majorly helps make the cut. Henceforth, any potential leads and assistance in this regard would be highly appreciated and welcomed.

Have a great weekend!

Kind Regards, Jazib Sohail.
