Re: Job in Abu Dhabi Investment Authority

Hi Oklah - I can't comment on other places, but generally yes you can progress from P3 to P4. I've seen plenty of promotions every year, for both expats and locals. Bear in mind that a P3 to P4...

Re: Job in Abu Dhabi Investment Authority

I2 is the equivalent of P2, but for an investment department. The middle and back office (including Finance, Operations, HR etc) all use the P grades. The Investment professional (e.g. investment...

Re: Job in Abu Dhabi Investment Authority

Generally it is via search firms. A small number of agents do most of the searches and they are paid well for it. If you have the right skills and are visible on LinkedIn they will find you.

Re: Job in Abu Dhabi Investment Authority

Yes P3 is good. VP equates to P2 or P3. A P4 would be a D or junior MD at Deutsche.

Your agent can give you details on the package. It's generous - but dont expect the huge uplifts of the old...

If you already work in banking (in the UK at least) the background checks will be nothing more onerous than you are used to. It's all standard stuff.

Re: Job in Abu Dhabi Investment Authority

I wouldn't worry. 45 days is not that long to wait. The whole hiring process can easily take 9 months or more from initial contact to start date.

1) My final round was just a series of face to face interviews. It wasn't an investment role, so perhaps those are different. I hadn't heard of case studies in the final round

No. I know of several approved in the last month. The rate of new joiners seems more or less constant (5-15 per month) since I joined.

No problem. Enjoy the trip. It's a mini holiday, as well as being an interview. You'll be well looked after. Chauffeur both ends. A380 business class flights, and a car and driver provided for...

No chance that they will give you the kids / education allowance in cash I'm afraid.

Re: Job in Abu Dhabi Investment Authority

ldnfintech - I would definitely recommend using the ADIA accommodation. Bear in mind though that ADIA don't actually own any of it. All they do is take up a multi-year lease on a few apartments or...

Re: Job in Abu Dhabi Investment Authority

I wouldn't know - but it seems plausible. Everything moves fairly slowly at the best of times and many people work shorter hours in Ramadan so that's likely to delay things.

I feel like they are underpaying me and undervaluing my skills.

My base pay offer in ADIA is 40% less than I am on now. On top of...
