Not mentioned here in the comments (and slightly unclear if you only read the title) is that the $16,000 was not USD but $16,000 AED, so about ~$60,000 USD.

> BCG would give me the rough equivalent of $16,000 in UAE dirhams

I read that as enough AED to be equivalent to ~$16k USD.

Agreed. Dirhams is the unit, so it would be "16,000 dirhams," not $16,000 in dirhams.

1 USD = 3.6 AED

Also, the article states that the offer was for $16,000 in equivalent local currency, so ~AED60,000.

USD/AED is 3.67, so 16K AED is USD 4360
