Management Consultancy salaries
hey
I'm wondering what's the pay for an entry-level job in consulting (McKinsey, Deloitte, BCG,...)... I'm graduating in May and just wanted to look at my options...
thanks a bunch,

Re: Management Consultancy salaries
Not sure is equivalent... but an emerging market analyst in Dubai International Capital with an MBA is paid 35,000 dirhams per month (all included), plus health plan, plus annual ticket back home, plus bonus.
I think the previous figure of 50K is a little too high. However, you need something around that to have a real good life in Dubai.

Re: Management Consultancy salaries
entry level, i wouldn't bother...the bells and whistles that are usually offered, usually won't be, so it won't be as much fun....

Re: Management Consultancy salaries
Yep, you'd probably be looking at 20-30k for entry level... depending on the firm you'll be competing against lots of Lebanese people - the best educated Arabic speakers around here.
MBAs get more than 35k generally.

Being Lebanese is practically equal to having an MBA...

Re: Management Consultancy salaries
thanks everyone
...I'm planning on doing this for a couple of years and then get a better job somewhere else, we'll see how that goes
...and sounds to me like Lebanese are really over rated!
btw, I know here in the US you got to apply before the end of the year for a full time job in May, is that the case in UAE?

And we are not overrated, we are overworked and underpaid...

Re: Management Consultancy salaries
well I didn't mean to sound arrogant...that wasn't my point
I was just surprised by equating an MBA to being Lebanese
...and isn't the pay equal for all nationalities of the same position level?!

Re: Management Consultancy salaries
The Lebanese example was quite accurate. As Indians are accountants or managers. Maids are from Ehiopia, India, Sri Lanka, etc, etc.
In any case, if you decide to come here... do not just translate the salary from dirhams to US dollars. Life is very expensive here (rents are ridiculous)

Re: Management Consultancy salaries
Locals do not like to work (in general). They are too rich to bother. Most of the Emirati work in the government. In the private sector you only see them in top positions.
Remember, Emirati are less than 10% of the population in Dubai.
