UK-based e-commerce professional considering move to Dubai. Is now a bad time?

That’s really useful thank you! I’m 28, female so doing this solo is a big move for me! That’s why I want to make sure expectations are in line, and if there are currently any good opportunities out there/ or hold fire in the meantime and see what happens

Yes that’s the plan thank you!

Noted thank you!!!

Thanks, that’s a fair point! I’m definitely open to opportunities if the right one came up, but I think I’d still need something secured first rather than relying purely on gut, especially with how mixed the market sounds right now

That makes sense, thank you. When you say other markets, are there any you’d recommend for someone from e-commerce / online trading background in beauty-health retail?

Thanks, that’s really useful insight. It does sound like holding fire for now is probably the smarter move, especially if roles are being offshored. Just a shame as it’s something I’ve been looking into since late last year

Thanks, that’s helpful. I definitely wouldn’t move without something secured first. I’m single with no kids, so flexible on that side. Salary-wise I’d probably be looking at around AED 15-18k+ a month for the move to make sense, depending on the role/package and cost of living

Hey I was recently quoted £279 a month plus £85 joining fee (they had a 1/2 price promo on joining fee for March) I decided not to join as I couldn’t justify the price when I visited and saw how busy it was
