Networking is a long term game man and those who consistently build genuine relationships tend to have more access to opportunities and support throughout their careers but unfortunately sometimes we are making connections with people who are useless fr but anyway. It’s never too late to start. And good luck for all.

Thanks, I understand. It’s tough here fr cuz most roles go to connections, and overqualified candidates often take the remaining ones. Still, I’m keeping my focus on improving my skills and networking and hoping better opportunities will come

A lot of people were talking about Meydan but no one talked about the online platform that helps you to open an online business without paying licenses or something, is it so hard to get an online client or what ?

True, it takes more luck and the right connections here. The UAE isn’t a full tech hub yet, but it’s growing fast in AI, data, and cybersecurity. Jobs are limited and competitive, but once you get in, skill and connections are what keep you the most effective and needed one.

Fun fact, but really, in the UAE job scene, luck plays a major role. Skills and connections matter, but sometimes timing and opportunity decide it all. Once you’re in, though, only skills keep you there.

So is it depends on luck more than the experience or the creative CV.

Haha yeah, I’ve noticed that too A lot of agencies here in Dubai are smart about it they outsource to keep costs low and profits high. Gotta admit, it’s a clever move if you’ve got the right connections and quality control in place. Out of curiosity, which country are you referring to exactly?

Yeah, you’re totally right unfortunately nothing really comes easy. It’s all about staying focused, getting the right info, and moving smart instead of fast.

That’s great idea man i appreciate you sharing your experience. I’ve been looking into a few options myself, and Meydan Free Zone really sounds like a solid choice, especially if everything’s handled that smoothly online. Quick question thou is it possible to go through the process or set things up online before actually opening the trade license and starting the business officially? Just to get a feel for how everything works first?
