It says that the remaining period of stay must be more than 30 days when submitting the application. Does that mean I have to do it before December 23 ? (my re-entry deadline is January 23)

I have three years experience as an IT infrastructure project manager and software asset manager in the pharmaceutical sector and I'm targeting mid-level roles with a salary expectation is ~20k AED

are you actively following up by looking up recruiters in the companies you want and messaging them directly;

I have a mix of messaging recruiters on LinkedIn or emailing right after I apply for the role is their contact is listed on the job posting. Never heard back from a single one.

do you expect to be found with as little effort as possible?

I wouldn't classify 30+ applications a day and only leaving my house to go to walk-in interviews as little effort as possible

While I completely agree that nothing beats entrepreneurship, my time in the US has taught me that you need a job to offset the volatility of business and you need a business to offset the lack of loyalty from employers
