Corporate Banking Scene 2020 - UAE

I am currently a rising senior at a top 20 University in the States. I'm a finance/comp sci major looking to get a job in Dubai (in CB) after I graduate in 2021. I was wondering what the Corporate Banking (IB or Commercial) Industry was like in the UAE and what some major differences were when compared to London/NYC (amount of work, type of work, salary, lifestyle)? I was also wondering if it was easier to move up the career ladder in the UAE or if it was just as competitive as in Europe/North America? I also had a question regarding what kind of role (Are there Analysts in CB?) I should apply for/look for rn if I want to eventually end up in PE? Thanks! Any info or advice would be much appreciated!
