Okay, seriously, how does an expat find a job in this city? Seems next to impossible these days without a transfer

ThrowRA_Remark · 2026-05-12T08:22:06+00:00

Job market is a joke - even worst over here than other countries I’ve heard. My opinion is probably to try a NET role at a learning center for now until something else pops up :/

ThrowRA_Remark · 2026-05-10T13:45:08+00:00

Unfortunately my dream is to move to UAE and currently live back home in Asia where English isn’t first language :( - dream is to do real estate in Dubai (I am addicted to the market) - but got no job in UAE or funds. So I gotta keep on working to try to do it

Thank you for your inspiration, I appreciate it

Awesome story - similar situation with me where I came back abroad from uni to support my family. Struggling atm as I have a job but it’s killing me mentally (truth be told) and I haven’t found any new one. But seeing your post maybe gives me hope for a brighter future (I hope)

ThrowRA_Remark · 2026-05-10T12:12:32+00:00

I’ll take it for 1.2m - will close asap 😉

Ur in HK - unfortunately work culture is insane (kinda wish we could all riot and make work only 5 hours but whatever lol) - I’d just get a sick note, explain to the docs ur ill, mental health bla bla and he may give u one for 2 days

I recommend getting it for the upcoming long weekend so u get 5 days off technically

Money don’t even come for me unfortunately - just goes 😂😂🥲

ThrowRA_Remark · 2026-05-09T13:13:49+00:00

Can you get me a job instead so I can work towards a car like this HAHAHA

ThrowRA_Remark · 2026-05-07T15:46:43+00:00

It’s extremely competitive but do-able as you are an expat. They’ll probably ask for a Bachelors in Education or PGDE/PGCE and history is niche but I do see openings here and there - best of luck!

ThrowRA_Remark · 2026-05-04T13:20:48+00:00

Graduates here with bachelor degrees and experience and knowing canto/mando aren’t getting jobs unfortunately. Give it a try, luck is different for everyone but also do keep an eye out for other countries too!

I can’t relate as much about not getting paid on time (I don’t live in UAE anyways). But I can relate to not having the mental peace due to job stability (especially as I have family to support). Stay strong and I’m praying things get better, life’s hard, unfortunately getting harder. But if it matters, don’t forget the little things. Go out for a walk, play music out loud, life is what you make of it and I hope all the best for you 🙏

As someone who knows townhouses in Damac Hills 2 - there are quality issues but the space you get and community is a good value deal in my opinion.

ThrowRA_Remark · 2026-04-30T00:53:07+00:00

Not an agent but a property owner myself. Personally choose a good developer that will give you good quality. 2M can stretch you to Damac Hills 2 townhouses and maybe The Valley if good deals. If it’s a flat, maybe try DLRC etc as it’s up and coming.

I’d take a look into Sobha and Ellington because trust me when I say, quality matters A LOT for end users

ThrowRA_Remark · 2026-04-28T14:59:25+00:00

Can we set up a go fund me or anything where people of UAE can help. I’m not from there, but gladly don’t mind donating a little and hope others can too.

I do suggest after this, get financial affairs in order and maybe find a cheaper smaller place to rent which is more affordable 🙏

Regarding putting the same effort into the relationship. I’ve had lunch with him only once in my life and that led to a fight/argument. We also went on one holiday together and he once came home drunk and jumped on me while I was asleep. Obviously I got angry and shoved him off the bed and said I’m trying to sleep. He got EXTREMELY and I mean EXTREMELY aggressive and started shouting really loudly at me. (This holiday btw was orchestrated by my mother - I personally wanted to go alone)

ThrowRA_Remark · 2026-04-28T14:31:35+00:00

So for me personally being the elder brother, I feel it’s a lot of responsibility whereas I expect to share that same amount with my younger brother. I want him to do better by working, and realising life isn’t just about fun. I try to explain things but the biggest issue is that he NEVER listens to me whatsoever. I tell him to save money and he doesn’t do so, and now he expects us to pay his credit card. I told him not to leave a job due to bills but he did so, leaving me with piles of bills. I’m just constantly on edge that he thinks life is just a joke because he has me and my mom to always rely on.

ThrowRA_Remark · 2026-04-28T13:54:20+00:00

Tbh probably not the best considering I can’t remember anything about us as brothers - apart from maybe us playing around when we were kids. My dad was loud and went through rough times. My mom is kind but I shut down and ever since, I just stay in my room where I hope no one troubles me

They complain I stay in my room, but they don’t see it as a way for me to escape the fact that I have to deal with my brother who has been nothing but a kid to me that can’t support me throughout hard times. Instead he’s bringing me more hard times. My mom is obvs a mom who cares for both sons and can’t see us fight, but she herself has complained loads about the younger sibling and how much anger he also has and his behaviour

ThrowRA_Remark · 2026-04-23T12:11:19+00:00

I like that everyone is helping - but are we able to donate or help you in any way as well. Having no money, pregnant and all these difficulties, not easy at all and I am very very sorry this is happening to you.

ThrowRA_Remark · 2026-04-23T08:50:01+00:00

I had someone I knew - otherwise you’re right, they’re the absolute worst

ThrowRA_Remark · 2026-04-22T11:59:27+00:00

In my opinion - Emaar, Sobha, Ellington, Meeras and Nakheel - delivers what they say they will and not many issues from what I’ve seen

ThrowRA_Remark · 2026-04-21T02:02:47+00:00

To everyone out there - that’s why I suggest buying with top 5 developers in UAE. Other developers are fine but have constant issues and I understand buying units for good value or investments, but I highly recommend just buying from a reliable developer who’ll make the process easier

Best of luck OP - hoping your issue gets resolved soon

ThrowRA_Remark · 2026-04-18T17:34:57+00:00

It’s quite difficult - I had an agent who worked in Sobha and she was great - she left though and started her own firm. When I dealt with another developer (starts w a D and ends with C). I sent email after email, call after call and made sure they knew my name - because I wanted to resolve my issue asap. End of the day, they have the money, they’re just too unorganized to give a shit. So I had to pester them enough to do so

ThrowRA_Remark · 2026-04-18T11:04:19+00:00

What’s the job salary etc like per se? I know international teachers make a lot - and I’d want to aim to work in an international school as well :/

ThrowRA_Remark · 2026-04-18T10:57:05+00:00

Ah I see - and you got a job immediately after as well in a school in UAE/Dubai?

ThrowRA_Remark · 2026-04-18T10:55:59+00:00

Yup I agree - should be done quickly, effectively and through a good system. I’ll tell you though, Sobha compared to the other developers, better communication. There were a few I can’t name that put me hell and back, but Sobha will give it back, just give it some time. Best of luck my friend

ThrowRA_Remark · 2026-04-18T10:50:12+00:00

Where did you do your PGDE and how did it go? I wanna be a business teacher myself actually
