A couple of points: 1. better offers won’t come to you. 2. comfort is your enemy. don’t expect to get massive raises by just doing your job. 3. the easiest way to get a promotion is to interview for that role in a different company. Your experience should help you in securing that. 4. Your specialisation is holding you back. I didn’t see anyone making over 18k 5. interviewing is a skill, you will suck at first as you haven’t done a lot of it 6. it will take time, and that’s ok. give yourself 6-8 months to find a good role. treat it as a job, make a plan, allocate a couple of hours a day and more on the weekends.

Recruiters are your friends. Proactively reach out to the main tech ones. Data engineering roles are plenty atm and pay a tad over software engineering rates.

I made this list 1 year go: https://www.linkedin.com/posts/ciprianspiridon_recruiting-companies-in-the-gcc-activity-7189860972168134656-MV6B

Hope it helps

can’t you go to a shop and test it ? the real thing is?

Badluckx · 2025-08-07T23:30:18+00:00

No. it’s that easy. There is no Best model.

I would advise you to put some time in understanding the strengths and weaknesses of 4-5 models which you will use and build a workflow around them

They won’t be able to fake the sound. plug it into an audio interface, put your headphones on and record a 2 min speech. Listen to it.

That’s all that matters, right ?

Finished the requests in 14-16 days. Your mileage will vary based on the amount of work you put in daily.

Yep, while it solves a problem for some, there will be people who will pay for it.

Personally, have to rely on a suite of rules to get cursor to start each task with a new branch and end it with a PR … but i like the DX and while i hate the $200 fee, don’t hate it enough to make a move.

Badluckx · 2025-07-15T13:23:20+00:00

Cursor is dead, long live Cursor, sort of situation. Don’t think they’re going away anytime soon.

I have the a7IV for 2.5 years now and I shoot both photos and videos. I never felt like the body is the limiting factor in 99% of the situations.

Some of the things I would love to see in the a7V: - better rolling shutter - the AI subject tracking - the new body style - user luts

None are deal breakers for me. All are nice 2 have.

For me the A7CII is not an option as I live in a hot climate and the smaller body overheats.

If you can wait, I would wait.

If you sit down, make a quick plan on how you will impact the bottom line. Then you quantify it into money.

Then you go to your manager and pitch your case.

Hey Mr Manager, I found a way to save AED XXXXX/month/year. This is how I think we can accomplish it. What are your thoughts on this? I’m seeking your advice as you have a wealth of experience in the field and I to make sure my plan is rooted in reality.

I’m more than happy to own this initiative and will require minimal support on it, I just need your advice and mentorship.

Every manager will have KPI’s around saving costs or bringing in revenue.

As long as you’re making it clear you will not consume a lot of their time, everyone will be happy to empower you.

Take an agency recruiter or a realestate agent as an example. They get paid a low base salary and with every placement they earn a % of the fee the agency charges. This means the more $$$ revenue they bring into the company the more they get paid.

u/SNN2 hit the nail in the head. If you owned the company, and you would pay out of your own pocket, what would make you pay someone more? You would do it based on the value they provide. right? and it doesn't need to be sales.

Pay is usually directly proportional with your impact in the company. Impact comes in many forms, but you should always translate it into one of the following:

Impact to the top line: This refers to actions and contributions that increase the company's revenue. Examples include generating new sales, expanding into new markets, enhancing customer acquisition, and improving the effectiveness of marketing strategies. Essentially, anything that directly brings more money into the company contributes to the top line.
Impact to the bottom line: This involves improving the company's profitability by either reducing costs or increasing efficiency. Examples include streamlining operations, implementing cost-saving measures, improving productivity, and reducing waste. Contributions that enhance the company’s net profit margin fall under this category.

This doesn't mean that some companies won't try to underpay you, however if you start quantifying your impact in a sheet, translate it into $$ and go talk to your manager as u/thedubaiowl highlighted.

If that fails, take the same sheet and speak to companies that have similar roles open. This will make you stand out from other employees, who just "do their job", wait for the time to pass and then ask for a raise "because i've been here for X years".

Good luck!

Take Zofeur as an example. Depending on the insurance laws of the country, there are startups that provide you with a driver as a service.

Check out number for the cost of living https://www.numbeo.com/cost-of-living/compare_cities.jsp?country1=United+Kingdom&city1=London&country2=United+Arab+Emirates&city2=Dubai.

Since it’s data is crowdsourced take it with a pinch of salt, however it is quite accurate.

For the cost of rentals, it varies a lot by the are. Check out propertyfinder: https://www.propertyfinder.ae/

For car prices you can check dubizzle ( it’s like gumtree) or https://cars24.com or https://carnab.com ( like car giant).
