Insights for the international move

Digital marketing, brand management, and performance roles are growing fast across all three cities. Here's where the real opportunities are, what they pay, and how UK marketing graduates actually break in.

Something has shifted. The graduates who used to fight over Goldman Sachs London spots are now actively targeting Dubai. Here's what's driving it, and whether it's the right move for you.

Two very different cities. Two very different career trajectories. The choice between Singapore and Dubai is one of the most consequential decisions a UK graduate can make, and most people get the analysis wrong.

Goldman's Dubai office is one of the most coveted graduate destinations in the Middle East. But the information publicly available about what it's actually like, and how to genuinely get in, is surprisingly thin.

Most UK graduates who target Dubai, Singapore or Sydney make the same avoidable errors. They're not about qualifications. They're about how you approach the process.

All three have significant Dubai offices. All three are prestigious. But they are meaningfully different, and the choice matters more than most candidates realise.

MENA deal flow has been extraordinary. But the graduate hiring market in Dubai banking is more nuanced than the headlines suggest. Here's an honest picture of who's hiring, what they pay, and what they want.

Singapore's visa system for professionals changed significantly with COMPASS. Here's a plain-English breakdown of what it means for UK graduates, including the criteria, thresholds, and what to do if your application is complex.

Australia has produced two of the world's most valuable tech companies. Both are hiring. Both are exceptional employers. Here's why more UK graduates aren't targeting them, and why that's a mistake.

Most graduates don't negotiate at all. The ones who do often anchor wrong. Here's the framework for international salary negotiation, and why it requires a different approach than domestic roles.

A CV that works for UK graduate schemes can actively work against you for international roles. The differences are specific, fixable, and most candidates have no idea they're making them.
