Middle east internships

[Abdou]

Hello everyone,

I went through the firms list thread, and I have a question :
Do you know of some firms in the middle east ( Dubai, Qatar...), where the financial market is still growing and booming, that have interesting quant internships or positions?

Thank you

Sorry for bumping this thread, but I'm also interested in this one. Is there anyone here on this Forum who can give some advice about working in the Middle East?

Extremely unlikely to get a job in Qatar without long experience. Yet the pay is not worth it unless you are a local or special contract (aka executive position). And don't be upset if your boss is way less qualified than you. This article is an eye opener :
