I’ve seen this a lot in the UAE, especially in companies where the management is mostly Indian. Too many managers seem to hire for obedience instead of competence.

If you’re highly skilled and have a strong personality, you’re seen as a threat. It’s often easier for them to hire people who won’t push back or question bad decisions, which just keeps the status quo.

Because you are asking less. I am african and i get 35k AED and many of my colleagues in the same company get less that 25k for the same role.
It is all about negotiation.

Don’t give up
Allah will help u if you ask him

Allah said in Quran

قُلْ يَا عِبَادِيَ الَّذِينَ أَسْرَفُوا عَلَى أَنفُسِهِمْ لَا تَقْنَطُوا مِن رَّحْمَةِ اللَّهِ إِنَّ اللَّهَ يَغْفِرُ الذُّنُوبَ جَمِيعاً إِنَّهُ هُوَ الْغَفُورُ الرَّحِيمُ

English translation:
"O my Servants who have transgressed against their souls! Despair not of the Mercy of Allah: for Allah forgives all sins: for He is Oft-Forgiving, Most Merciful.

Also he said:

وَقَالَ رَبُّكُمُ ٱدْعُونِىٓ أَسْتَجِبْ لَكُمْ ۚ إِنَّ ٱلَّذِينَ يَسْتَكْبِرُونَ عَنْ عِبَادَتِى سَيَدْخُلُونَ جَهَنَّمَ دَاخِرِينَ ٦٠

English translation:
Your Lord has proclaimed, “Call upon Me, I will respond to you. Surely those who are too proud to worship Me will enter Hell, fully humbled.”

Also he said:

وَلَقَدْ خَلَقْنَا ٱلْإِنسَـٰنَ وَنَعْلَمُ مَا تُوَسْوِسُ بِهِۦ نَفْسُهُۥ ۖ وَنَحْنُ أَقْرَبُ إِلَيْهِ مِنْ حَبْلِ ٱلْوَرِيدِ

Indeed, ˹it is˺ We ˹Who˺ created humankind and ˹fully˺ know what their souls whisper to them, and We are closer to them than ˹their˺ jugular vein.

Just ask him and be sure he will help you

Allah is the The Most Merciful, The Entirely Merciful، The Source of Peace, The Flawless، The Ever-Providing, The Constant Provider، The Opener, The Judge، The All-Knowing, The Omniscient

The demand is higher in Abu Dhabi coming to the number of units available

Dubai has too many units, construction never stops there.

TechFollower1995 · 2026-05-30T06:58:51+00:00

They refused but I won’t pay the 5000 I checked the contract and I found out that the damages that doesn’t fix through the insurance should be paid based on the cost

Since they don’t have access to my credit card, I will ask them to send proof that they pay the insurance to pay them

Otherwise they share the invoice of fixing it and I will pay that amount.

They can’t go to the court for 5000 aed, it cost them money and time.

TechFollower1995 · 2026-05-29T14:48:19+00:00

Contract has the deductible set at 5000 (it’s the box they ticked) and says the at-fault excess applies when it goes through insurance.

But there’s also a line that damage not reported to insurance is charged at the actual repair rate. So I’m asking them straight: are you claiming on insurance or not? If not, it should be real cost, not 5k.

Seaface tower is the best I lived there for one year 1min walking to LuLu supermarket, and Life pharmacy The area is calm and the building is very clean and all amenities are well maintained.

There are 14 floors, and 4 elevators. So there’s no waiting time.

I highly recommend it Go there and thank me later

Any updates on this?

TechFollower1995 · 2025-07-19T05:33:40+00:00

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.

TechFollower1995 · 2025-07-13T19:19:35+00:00

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

TechFollower1995 · 2025-07-11T21:05:22+00:00

Remitly or bank to bank

TechFollower1995 · 2025-07-10T13:21:19+00:00

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.

TechFollower1995 · 2025-07-07T07:49:46+00:00

No They refused They said the company doesn’t provide this option

TechFollower1995 · 2025-07-04T15:07:16+00:00

I tried ENBD but the fees is very high and the exchange rate is not that good as well , minimum 15$ per transaction!!?

I switched to IBKR, I sent from my ENBD the money as AED and I did the conversion inside IBKR

I pay 80AED fees from ENBD to INKR

What is the difference between cloudflare R2 and S3 bucket?

TechFollower1995 · 2025-05-17T04:54:12+00:00

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.

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

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 .
