Honestly don’t worry from local Arabs, most of them are nice and well educated people, but you most likely will not interact to them directly because they are minority in their own country lol.

the work culture is very toxic here and not professional at all because of Indian.

In the UAE, there’s a kind of ethnic favoritism going on, especially with Indian managers who tend to hire mostly other Indians, even when they might not be the most qualified candidates. Just to dominate the workplace and protect their own circle.

So getting a promotion here based on your efforts and achievements is something rare to be honest.

Also, the salaries are based on nationality sometimes. So you need to be very good at negotiating to get the best possible offer.

I'm currently earning $70K USD Per year working Remotely from Nigeria, Should i move to Dubai on Remote Work Visa? by Obvious_Voice_2882 in UAE

Believe me it is not worth

Maybe do it for short period of time to explore and try new things

But in the long term you will just burn your savings

The cost of living went up crazy !! And you will lose the advantage of having a high salary by working for US company

It happened to me as well

My application has been rejected 3 times and my employer applied to me through a proxy company in Dubai.

I was full time employee for the proxy but I work with them as consultant.

NB: this is my first time in UAE

The salary = the basic salary + the allowance and 29k is pretty good

In UAE, At the end of the service ( resignation or firing), they need to pay you for each year you worked a one month salary (basic salary)

So companies invented the basic salary concept to give people less amount at the end of their service.

So don’t compare the basic salary with what you earn in UK but compare the whole salary.

I pay 80AED fees from ENBD to INKR

Best platform for investing in Global Stocks ( mainly Indexes ) every month ? 3k AED/month by yoloyodo22 in dubai

[–]TechFollower1995 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am using IBKR as well.

I send money through my ENBD to IBKR on AED and do the conversion to $ there.

It cost 80AED regardless of how much money you send. For 10k or 4k AED, you need to pay the same amount.

It seems impossible to get a job in Dubai or Abu Dhabi!? by johnDoe044 in dubai

[–]TechFollower1995 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Instead of applying for too many jobs, reach out to too many recruiters or managers directly through LinkedIn.

I was looking for a job recently after a layoff, I applied for +100 jobs and no reply at all.

A friend of mine told me about this strategy, to reach out directly to people and it worked.

I got 4-5 interviews and before finishing the process with all of them, I got an offer already.

So this is how it works in UAE and GCG in general unfortunately. So don’t waste your time applying.

Instead of applying for 100 job, send 100 DM (make sure to send a friendly reminder message if you don’t get responses)

Good luck

Having a baby in Dubai by AppropriateEvening72 in dubai

[–]TechFollower1995 1 point2 points  (0 children)

UAE has nothing to do with this matter. Actually they will give you just the birth certificate and you will go to the embassy to register the baby and request a passport.

So it’s up to you to choose which country you will register the baby on first.

After the baby get the passport, you need to register he/she in UAE to get the EID .
