Nonsympathizer

Hi Dono, thanks for your post!

As you may be able to gather, I'm eccentrically ecstatic of the chance of working at ADIA (although that helps little). As you are a believer in Karma , how great would it be of you to be able to advise me of what the 'business simulation' element of the Assessment I have next week entails.

Also are there any websites that have similar phsychometric tests, so I can practice?

And finally how is the interview? What kind of technicle questions are asked (if any), and is it competency based?

Any other advice would be very much apreciated!!

I don't know about the 'business simulation' element of the Assessment you will have next week, I didn't go through that part.

For psychometric tests, there are plenty of them. I suggest you buy a book, one that I used is Ultimate Psychometric Tests by Mike Byron. It's a good one and should be useful.

I passed through a ton of interviews. Questions were standard about my qualifications, expectations, etc. Nothing extraordinary. Just be confident and keep relaxed.

Good luck

Just a comment on ADIA, they're very process driven, they have committees for everything.

And finally, by market cap they are bigger than Microsoft and Exxon Mobil COMBINED.

How do you measure 'market cap' in such an obscure, secretive and unlisted company? Just curious........

Think it was in ME Business that they are worth $627bn, larger than the Swedish retirement fund or similar.

Dear all, i was surfing the internet and the BE forum, finding various threads from people who got offered a job in ADIA, asking about the salaries and so on... but surprisingly i never saw any job advert or any hint on how these people got this job offer. May be you can help to understand the job market in Abu Dhabi and where to search for job openings to work for ADIA. I am in the start of my career currently working in M&A in Dubai, however wanted to move back to equity analysis, so I thought ADIA would be right place for me. please heeeeeeeeeelp to solve this mystery
