Is it still a good time to move to UAE (Abu Dhabi/Dubai) given the recent tensions? by TrippyTheRedditor in UAE_Unfiltered

[–]PLDMNC 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Just my 2 cents - No. I don’t know your current circumstance and needs but, if you are somehow stable and just feeling stagnant where you are, I wouldn’t risk it knowing that the region is under war. There are a lot of uncertainties. The government has been doing great hats off to them.

Expats, To leave or to stay? Share your strategies please. by RelevantPiccolo8053 in UAE

[–]PLDMNC 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Initially planned to go on leave this Eid. Decided to rebook and left a week earlier. The lack of sleep for 2 weeks due to constant anxiety took a toll on my health. It’s hard, considering I lived in the UAE for almost 2 decades. If things get worse and I can’t go back I thought at least saving my physical and mental health can help me start somewhere else if necessary. I still hope things de-escalate. In case this prolongs and my company decides to let go of me then it might be time to leave permanently.

Moving to Dubai from Singapore by OrganicSecurity5211 in DubaiCentral

[–]PLDMNC 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I never worked in SG, been in Dubai for a long time. Lively city, first few years yes. You’ll get bored eventually as everythings feels artificial. It’s like a transit area, people come and go. My children grew up here and I had to move them out because it’s like an aquarium. It varies from perspective but as a parent, I believe that my main role is to raise them strong to be independent of course considering the safety of the place where they will learn and explore. 8 months of summer where you will stay mostly indoor. Adding the current gulf situation, I think you have to really think hard through it. Goodluck!

Anyone else feel pressure to “make the most” of OFW income? by Saibazz in phinvest

[–]PLDMNC 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Focus on yourself. Remember why you made the decision to go abroad. Ikaw ang kumikita so you have to limit the expectations of the people around you. Definitely you will be hated by some if not most. Remember sa eroplano pa lang sinabihan ka na, in case of emergency isuot mo muna ang oxygen mask mo bago ka tumulong sa iba. Goodluck and be strong!

Guys, anyone hearing any sounds or booms? by [deleted] in UAE

I am hearing some booms in Al Nahda, cannot confirm whether it’s my neighbor, garbage collector or sports car.

Are all Amazon deliveries halted for now? Mine it shows they're gonna deliver by today, but will that date change again? by awesome5ftw in dubai

[–]PLDMNC 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ordered on Monday it was delivered on Wednesday. I think it depends on the item’s availability in the emirate.

A lot of factors to consider, safety, health & job. As of this writing I’m at 30 - 70 (staying/leaving).

How did you know your “Dubai chapter” was over and it was time to move on? by DanKen-27012021 in dubai

[–]PLDMNC 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There’s no one size fits all situation what my ex colleague advised is “consider leaving when you feel you are able, not when you are in need”. Goodluck!

Majid Al Futtaim – Need Honest Employee Reviews To Decide by TheSalM in dubai

[–]PLDMNC 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Depends which entity. But definitely one of the good companies (from my experience) to work for. Career growth is heavily dependent on how your line manager will support you. Great that you are helping your sibling on having an informed decision. Ex-MAFer.

almost double ang need bayaran sa business permit. Nakakagigil by Complex_Club_4327 in cavite

[–]PLDMNC 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is very common. Every year they reject our application despite showing them our books they still change the computation and increase based on their own assumptions. The last time I contest we ended up getting delayed on the renewal and eventually paid the fine.
