Big Four in the Middle East

I am currently an LSE MSc student set to graduate next September. I am in the process for quite a few F500 companies in UK/EU already (for graduate roles in management/finance), although I am considering going back home (Jordan) after my studies for a year or two. I am confident I can secure a Big 4 consulting role, although given the fact that the Jordanian market isn't exactly huge, I am not sure of the value that such an experience would have on my resume. In the long-term, I would like to work in an F500 in management/finance in EU/UK/Canada.

I would appreciate any insight.

I hope those threads give you a bit more insight.

Big4 are worldwide recognised names. They will always hold value on your CV. Not sure what else you want to hear.

 

Big4 MENA are operationally HQd out of Dubai. Majority of their clients are in UAE/Saudi hence most of the talent pool resides there.

For MENA, Dubai is to it what London is to Europe or New York is to North America. It will look best on your CV.

 

Big 4 will help on your cv anyway although it's true that being in Jordan will hurt the perspective. Do you know if you could be staffed regionally at least (e.g Dubai) or if you could do an office transfer to EU or so down the line? Or what project pipeline is there in Jordan and how could that be transferrable elsewhere? That would smoothen out your transition.
