Can anybody shed some light on EY's Transaction Real Estate practice in the Middle East?I am an analyst in one of the big consulting firms working out of the London office but I fancy moving to Dubai and was wondering whether this is a good opportunity which will give me some useful experience.Any advice will be useful! Thanks

Please, could somebody help me out as I could not find sufficient information on the internet.

Considering that this role is transaction services, I would say that such a move would be a lot easier if you were ACA / CFA qualified. Particularly as you will be joining at a junior level. Also, Arabic language skills is a big bonus....(and in this environment, I would think a pre-requisite)

Beware the temptation of tax free living - rental costs are sky high. Dubai is a real dump. People are so anxious to leave there now, they are just deserting their cars at the airport

Not sure there is a lot going on in Dubai at the moment in TAS, rest of the Gulf maybe, look up a guy called Andy at Darwin ( Rec agency ), he does a lot around the Gulf, he maybe able to shed some light.

I know them, I have been approached regarding a number of roles in TAS across the Gulf by Darwin. Worth contacting if you are looking for TAS roles. I would reccomend.
