ADIA, Emaar, Majid al Futtaim, QIA Comp?
Looking for more information on what comp (USD) is like at either the Middle Eastern sovereign wealth funds (Abu Dhabi Investment Authority, Qatar Investment Authority) or developers (Majid Al Futtaim, Emaar, etc). What's the ideal years of experience to have before deciding to make such a jump? Analyst, associate, senior associate comp? How / why is it difficult to move back to the US?
Prospect in RE - Comm, bummer your thread hasn't had a response yet. Maybe one of these threads could point you in the right direction:
More suggestions...
Fingers crossed that one of those helps you.

Curious on this feedback. I will keep a watch on this post.
Bump. Interested to hear more about this as well.
Any insights on total comp?
I was quoted about $225K USD all in for ADIA at the analyst level, including a housing allowance.
They hire analysts?
That seems quite low for the Middle East. Can they really incentivize people to move to another region for that comp?
Interested
Stay in touch with your network and make sure you’re covering US and you should be fine.

I have heard it is difficult to get back to the US once you're over there for a while. My understanding, from my own research online and talking to a few folks, is the way of doing business there is so different that employers in the US do not view it as transferrable experience. This may not be the case for every role. For example, some of the folks in those funds focus only on investing in US markets. In that scenario, you'd obviously have great knowledge that is usable back home. Conversely, if you're in a development role doing projects only in the UAE, that's where it may be tough to sell that experience to employers back here.
Commenting to reiterate the question about the ideal level of experience to be entering one of these firms?
Also, how does one find/be found for a role like this in the middle east?
