I am almost completing my M.Sc. Economics and Finance from Warwick Business School, UK which is ranked overall 4th business school in UK. My program is also CFA program partner. I have also done MBA Finance from IBA Pakistan, which is most prestigious school established with support from Wharton Business School. I have 6 years of working experience in financial markets research but macroeconomic related in central bank.....do u think i stand a chance of getting a job in gulf region?

As an English teacher? No. Why?

You have not made it clear what type of work you are looking for. This is a board for ESL/EFL teachers, so we would have little or no information on jobs in business.

Did you intend to teach business?

This is what I said to the poster's same question on the Saudi board:

If someone with a [real] Masters degree from the UK won't stand a chance in SA, who will? Someone with a Bachelors from Burundi?

A cousin of mine has an MBA from IBA, and he has a nice cushy job with a bank here.

With your qualifications and experience, you can start off in Saudi with a SR. 15,000 salary (+ other benefits) easily, and perhaps higher.

(Assuming the poster is not asking about teaching jobs)

In the UAE, you could probably get Dhs 20,000/month with a bank, investment firm, MNC, etc.

(SR = Dhs, more or less)
