Internship at Abraaj Group in Dubai

I've seen a few posts on PE in the middle east and Abraaj in particular. I secured an internship at the Abraaj Group for this summer in Dubai so I created this forum to help put some things in perspective. I'm currently a junior studying in the US. Ask me anything!

 

Didn't know they let Chimps create their own Private Equity Forum.

Poor attempt at trolling bruh....

yes! but it looks like we have to send a cover letter in the email and attach your resume. that's plain and simple. one must be tip-top with the words that way.

 

Assuming the internship went well, you could land a spot in their two year analyst program. Comp and deal flow are supposed to be great, and you'll have exposure across industries and different emerging markets - ideal for anyone even remotely considering setting up their own PE shop in the long run. I currently live in the Emirates, and it's really much more relaxed than what people seem to think. Seems like a fantastic opportunity to me!
