Russian speaker with P/E, SWF in EMEA / MENA / APAC region

Good day, #username

I am bulge bracket IB analyst with tier 5 bank. And I am looking for opportunities with MENA (preferred) or APAC region which is looking for Russian speaker. Know from press that several Arabic SWF funds are working with Russia (QIA, Invest AD, ADIA). Also Chinese CIC invest $5bn into Russia. May be someone from the forum has such experience or know HR firms who can be aware of such opportunities. Will appreciate any Monkeys advises )

I'm interested in that as well. @uncle_tom Are you a U.S. citizen? I'm from Russia but I'm currently looking for SA position at some boutique in U.S. where being a native russian speaker can give me any advantage.

No, i am a russia citizen. Just looking for comanies which is interested in Russia. Do you have any strategy / HR firms which can be useful?
 

Wish I could help (also Russian speaker) but I don't know anything outside of the US. Good luck man.

Under my tutelage, you will grow from boys to men. From men into gladiators. And from gladiators into SWANSONS.
 

Given the laughable volumes of FDI in Russia, I'd be surprised if Russian speakers were in high demang for PE / AM / HF. As a Ruski myself I wish that wasn't the case though.
