I am an investment banking professional

and found a job on efinancialcareers.com

Coming from South East Asia, the probability of that happening is one in a thousand, but it may work well for your friends in Lebanon in case you want to suggest this to someone.

I first came in 1982 - out of Grad School. I answered an adv in computer magazine for consultants to work on the MOI project. Did that for 5 yrs. Went all over the KSA made good contacts and just kept doing it as a independent consultant till 2004. Couldn't stand the boring ex-expat life and came back in 2009 as Dir of Ops for Saudi Media Systems.
