Genuine question from someone who's probably missing context here.

How does Big 4 hiring actually work for Emiratis? Because from what I've seen, nearly every Emirati I know who wanted one of those roles got it, and pretty quickly. Not saying they're unqualified, but the credentials don't always seem to matter the way they do for everyone else.

Meanwhile expats are going through multiple rounds, tailoring CVs, following up for weeks, and still getting nothing back.

I know Emiratization plays a role but is that really enough to explain the gap, or are these firms just going way beyond what the policy actually requires?
