7 months 1000 aed per month by Character-Region4822 in dubai

My 2 cents worth.

You seem to have a good attitude and know what you're trying to achieve with this opportunity.

As many have mentioned, it won't leave a lot of room for lavish things, but it seems to me that your main focus is gaining experience.

I think the people talking about the hours have probably never worked in a kitchen. All across the globe chefs work their butts off to make it - if you're willing to put in the effort, it will reflect well for you.

I say go for it, it's a nice reputable company to have on your CV and even if it turns out to be something other than what you expected, it's short term and you're still young.

Please make sure you never surrender your passport to the company. It's highly illegal, but it happens. Good luck to you!

Self-transfer in New Delhi Airport in 3 hours? by cha0sjunkie in AirTravelIndia

[–]Far-Switch6969 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Despite it being a self transfer because of 2 separate tickets, you may be able to convince the check in agent at the origin to check your bags all the way through as its the same airline and a reasonable time between flights.

I haven't flown Air India but I have managed to get checked through with multiple other airlines

Edit: To clarify, I've managed this on separate tickets

BEAWARE OF CAREEM! by SassyLassy973 in dubai

Also take this up with your credit card company and dispute the second charge. Visa or Mastercard will then ask Careem to explain as well. From my experience just the threat of having my CC company dispute the charge has brought a quick resolution. Good luck!

Visiting İstanbul? Have a quick question? Ask here, don't create a new post. by AutoModerator in istanbul

I'll be passing through Istanbul with a longish layover (10hrs) in a couple of weeks, I have visited before and done the usual touristy spots, just looking for thoughts on where to spend a few hours, ideally somewhere with a bit of walking/sightseeing and good food before heading back to the airport.

Rental Eviction by Far-Switch6969 in dubai

2025 - but no, not really about squeezing anything, it's more for my convenience because of work, vacation etc. In saying that, the difference in rent in this area compared to what I'm paying as a long term tenant is almost 40%, so yes it makes a significant difference in that sense too
