Middle East Recruiting

Hi all,
I’ve been interviewing for PE jobs in the Middle East since the end of last year and it seems like things can take a lot of time to move.
Anyone had the same experience? For those who manage to secure jobs in SWF, how long did it take you between first round to offer and verbal offer until joining?
