Hi all - as the title suggests, would appreciate if anyone could please speak to recruitment process for the big ME SWFs (I.e. ADIA, EIA, QIA, PIF etc).
For context I’ve been on the buyside in London for a few years now in a credit investing role, looking to make a move over (not in a huge rush though).

For taxes or just want a change of scenery? Just curious & good luck
Bit of everything to be honest - taxes obviously a part of it, but I have family far east so I’d be much closer to them. Also just want to leave London, with the Middle East not the only option I’m looking at.
Comp expectations ?
I have no idea what market comp is - I’m on a pretty standard associate comp atm (£250k all in) so I’d expect in line/potentially a bit higher?
I’m not familiar with the entire process, but all SWFs typically use headhunters to filter through candidates from international countries before having official interviews with the SWF. Comp ranges are usually -/+ 10% of the same position in London companies but it’s tax free so it ends up being higher.
Any particular headhunters, or is it just the usual suspects (i.e. the ones that hire for MF/MM etc.)?
