Where is the best place to work in the Gulf?
10 July 2008
The GCC’s financial centres are vying with one another for a limited pool of talent, so where would you rather work?
The benefits of each, as far as we can see, are:
Bahrain – the traditional home of finance within the GCC, aiming to recreate past glories. An expanding banking sector and favourable regulation has made it more attractive recently.
Dubai – rapidly expanding financial centre with a knack for self-promotion, touted as the ideal new home for out-of-work investment bankers in the west.
Qatar – full of potential, ambitious and jostling to be the next big thing.
Saudi – the dominant economy in the Middle East, attracted a slew of new banks, both local and international; offers a fast developing capital markets industry.
Will Bahrain continue to grow? Is Dubai’s allure fading or growing? Will talent migrate back to Saudi? Is Qatar’s promise too much to resist? Or is there another dark horse on the horizon? Your thoughts please…
For me Bahrain is better tha Dubai, there's not nearly as much traffic or as many tourists and it seems equally as dynamic.
