Hi, Relocating to UAE, what are the best companies to Target. Both large established companies like Careem and potentially startups with a promising path to IPO. TC:145 Thanks #tech #dubai #uae
Don't go, no amount of cash will make it worth your while. I grew up and lived there for 30 years. It's a hamster wheel... You'll go and keep spinning that ever until you're flunked out into space.. it's not a place you can establish roots. If you end up in front of someone who woke up on the wrong side of bed, and they happen to be from the powerful clans and decided to let it out on you, you're toast and you have little to no recourse. I have seen too many cases to count. Surveillance is through the roof. At best, it's Disney. Fake and expensive. The minute you don't have money, you're out of the country, it doesn't matter how long you've been. 40 years paying rent for your Disney hotel room? The next day you don't money to cover your stay, you're out.
Really. I’ve 5/6 friends there now for 7 years roughly and they love it. I only plan to stay for 2/3 years to save money before returning to my home country
What kind of work are you in? It’s worthwhile for experiencing a different culture but you may not save as much as you think you’ll save. Also if you’re married and have kids there are other non financial considerations to account for.
Up. I am also looking for a SWE job in Dubai. Has 2 yoe in Backend
Im also looking for a job in dubai, currently wirking in jpmorgan as data engineer
What companies are you considering ?
we have DE roles, DM me for relevant ones at Liquidity Group
Also, what's the TC expected in Dubai for a swe? As in, how much lower is it on average?
I’m not a SWE so I wouldn’t know. I just know I’m general wages are higher when you factor in Tax/cost of living etc
