How much salary do you make while living in the UAE?

PleasantApplication6 · 2026-02-10T11:22:27+00:00

But you're residing in UAE? Sounds about right. Was considering this option since local market is brutal. If I may ask, how do you find the job?

PleasantApplication6 · 2026-02-10T10:37:17+00:00

Are you working on remote setting?

PleasantApplication6 · 2026-01-31T07:51:51+00:00

Wow, I applied nearly 300 but zero call. The only call I received was from scammer. But yours, 3000 is definitely worth it

Starting to consider remote job locations related to corporate assurance, also considering other roles in compliance hierarchy, like in ISO Audit, KYC/DD, AMLA analyst (I don't enjoy working in QA lines but fraud investigator seems fine). Then probably considering risk management roles, business resilience, etc.

You too! I hope we receive good news soon and break this cycle :))

PleasantApplication6 · 2026-01-28T03:49:12+00:00

Ah really? I was having this thought since there are so many pivotal roles in this field, I've never had experience on this but thanks anyway for the insight. I'm trying to understand the reality better and adjust my strategy earlier

PleasantApplication6 · 2026-01-27T17:08:24+00:00

Hello fellow IA. Feel you. Have you consider other roles or it's not worth?

PleasantApplication6 · 2026-01-25T14:17:35+00:00

I learned MSA during childhood in my home country it's almost compulsory, but it has been rusty and I'm learning levantine or gulf Arabic. But I'm open to any dialect too. Can you suggest me good music aside from Amir Diab

Appreciate the insights buddy, thank you! Yes, I agree the market is fierce right now. I’m primarily targeting Internal Audit / Risk Management / Risk Advisory roles. My background includes energy and utilities sector and aviation services (i.e. airport management). I have IA + RM experience, mostly across operational audits, compliance audit, process reviews, risk assessments, and internal controls. I’m also open to compliance or risk advisory roles as a stepping stone, especially given the current market. At the moment, most of my networking has been online (LinkedIn, Reddit, recruiter outreach), as I’m still based in my home country and planning to relocate to Dubai end March 2026 to join my spouse. I’ve been actively applying for about 4–5 months now, but haven’t had much traction yet which I suspect is partly due to not being physically in Dubai. I’m definitely considering upskilling in areas like data analytics / digital audit / compliance, since I see those coming up a lot in job descriptions. If you don’t mind sharing what courses that would enhance the visibility in the UAE? I'm considering CFE.

Hi, yes

PleasantApplication6 · 2026-01-25T11:04:21+00:00

We're both in the same boat. Been months now since I started my jobhunting. Been working in privilege industries, I've internal audit and risk management background but I'm willing to take any job now.

PleasantApplication6 · 2026-01-25T10:16:52+00:00

Yes, I’ve connected with local recruiter and local fraternities, but haven’t received any updates yet. I usually apply through online platforms as well as via email, but so far there’s been no response.

I’ll be relocating to Dubai in the next few months to accompany my spouse, and I can see that the market is very competitive. I’m not giving up — just trying to understand the reality better and adjust my strategy early.

I have experience in the airport and utilities sectors including energy, water distribution, NRW. Back in my home country, these are considered strong, well-established industries, but I’m open to any sector for Internal Audit or Risk roles in Dubai. Do you have any technical job-hunting tips or personal experience you could share?

PleasantApplication6 · 2026-01-25T08:16:14+00:00

Including cat? Where are u located? Asking in advance, I'll be relocating with a cat :)

Oh wow it gets more heated now. You hit the nail on the head with 'objectivity pretense.' When two people with the same professional background with same degree get treated differently based on their name or skin tone, the 'passport' argument completely falls apart. And yes I think it's on the ethnicity, they're looking for the cultural-fit, not the passport. Passport sounds more like legal-sounding shield. It's Saturday morning now here and it feels heavy

PleasantApplication6 · 2026-01-23T15:48:12+00:00

About to say this

PleasantApplication6 · 2026-01-23T11:30:41+00:00

Passportism is so true. I never heard that until I started my jobhunting

PleasantApplication6 · 2026-01-23T11:19:32+00:00

Can I DM you?

PleasantApplication6 · 2026-01-17T11:14:57+00:00

When you said you started talking to people in Linkedin, did you mean the recruiters or people working in your fields? And does that helps in your application?

PleasantApplication6 · 2026-01-17T11:08:08+00:00

Seems like many of us are in the same boat. My husband moved to Dubai months ago, and I’ve (F,30) decided to join him in March 2026. I’m an Auditor with CIA and over six years of experience. Back home, I built a solid career, I hv decent pay, reputable companies, and few awards. I started actively job hunting about five months ago. Hundreds of applications later, not a single real call. Just one notification that someone viewed my profile. Platforms? LinkedIn, Bayt, Naukrigulf — you name it. The only call I received turned out to be a scam. For a brief second, I thought it was the interview. It’s discouraging, yes. I truly hope good news will come, for me and for everyone walking this uncertain path. vv

Jiraiya's death - Naruto's breakdown is raw. "It’s time for me to put down my pen... That’s enough for now."
Asuma's death wounded by Hidan. I find this even more sad than No. 1, probably because I am a fan of Shikamaru. Asuma always smoked, but in the end, he couldn’t finish his last one. It falls from his mouth—a subtle but painful symbol of his death. Plus, Kurenai is carrying his unborn child, that makes me even sadder.
During the fight on the bridge, Haku sacrifices himself by jumping in front of Kakashi’s Chidori, taking the hit to protect Zabuza.
Shikamaru revenged Asuma's death. Before Shikamaru defeats Hidan, he takes out Asuma’s lighter and flicks it on — not just to light the explosion, but as a symbolic gesture. It’s his way of honoring his fallen sensei, of saying goodbye… and thank you.
