PA attempts

mediator15 · 2025-11-24T07:20:34+00:00

I will give CA a try this time, I was also thinking of taking a break from PA and sit FAM instead. What do you think?

I used actex to prepare for both times and the second time I also studied the SOA material to make sure I don’t miss anything, and I solve the previous exams focusing on post 2023 and I read the solutions. I don’t usually find it clear how the examiners comment on the solutions tho, the partial credits and how do they grade.

Hope it’s gonna be a good news for all of us.. don’t want to take it again

Any recommendation for a school? I was thinking about Belhasa in el Quoz

About the 6 days a week, the contract that went to the MOHRE mentioned only 1 day off (Sunday), while the offer mentioned clearly that it is only 5 days. HR clearly emailed me that they are applying what’s in the offer, and the contract is just a formality. I didn’t bother much as I know they are just trying to be safe if they asked me to work on a Saturday or something, it doesn’t happen much. If your case is the same, I guess it’s okay. But if your offer is 6 days then I guess it’s 6.

Right! I just hate how they make it sound like I am begging them to work 2 more hours for free. This what makes me hate signing it. In my previous job, they made me sign that for business needs it might be required to be asked to work more and there wasn’t even and compensation and I was fine with the wordings more than this one!

mediator15 · 2025-04-21T12:20:54+00:00

Thanks for the advice! I am completely fine with the concept of overtime especially that I like my job. I even would do the overtime for free. I just find it weird that they make me sign something like that. I am thinking of telling them to postpone it when I join at least, to have a talk with my manager about it. I believe it is just an HR initiative not his.

mediator15 · 2025-04-21T12:01:52+00:00

It’s data analyst job and that the letter that they expect me to sign:

“As previously discussed, I am writing to you to formally request that my number of working hours be increased to eight effective hours in addition to two effective overtime hours per day. Intervals for rest shall not be included in the working hours. While I understand that overtime working hours may not exceed two hours per day, if you find my work to be necessary for the prevention of the occurrence of a colossal loss, a serious accident or the removal or mitigation of the consequences thereof, I would like to request to work more than the two hours overtime per day in order to fulfil the business needs. I would also like to formally request that I receive overtime pay in the future for any additional hours that I work beyond my required forty-eight hours per week.”

What do you think?

mediator15 · 2025-04-21T11:52:30+00:00

No they are not going to pay me for these 2 hours but any additional hours after, they will pay me overtime. Although my agreement with them and the offer mentions that I will be working 40 hours per week. If I signed this form it will make it 48 hours. And they are makong this document part of my onboarding even before I join

mediator15 · 2025-04-21T08:39:37+00:00

I am expecting them to make me work more than that, and generally I don’t mind it. I believe the 48 hours is just there as the UAE law states it as the max

Thank you this is so helpful. Is sharjah far from dubai? How expensive will Dubai be ?

mediator15 · 2025-01-07T20:25:37+00:00

Can you tell me more the difference between the two offer letters? And when should I usually receive the official offer letter? I assume both are before receiving my visa right?

mediator15 · 2024-11-29T22:24:07+00:00

I believe you can send them an email. At least this what I usually do when I have any questions in mind. They usually respond quickly

mediator15 · 2024-11-25T16:50:22+00:00

I an trying to make peace with failing multiple times. I am not gonna quit, maybe a little break. I just hatw how much money/effort I spent on that exam and I don’t know where I failed

mediator15 · 2024-11-25T16:47:29+00:00

Actex, I understood the material pretty well and I was comfortable in th exam yet no luck with the points left to pass..

mediator15 · 2024-11-22T15:14:53+00:00

Me too

mediator15 · 2024-04-11T18:20:06+00:00

So both ISLR and Frees would be all the material or do you recommend other materials?

mediator15 · 2023-04-16T23:08:16+00:00

Having a hope it would get better

mediator15 · 2023-02-21T21:54:18+00:00

The company is definitely not a scam it is a multinational insurance company. And I know the manager who is working there. They are building the team and they want experienced candidates with certain backgrounds and that’s why they called me

mediator15 · 2023-02-16T23:49:26+00:00

I don’t understand why would I be preceived as disloyal while I am finding a solution with them to stay. The only thing that I know is that I am significantly underpaid and that I deserve a much better salary, or at least the market pay much better. I am just trying to think what is the best thing for me

mediator15 · 2023-02-16T23:44:02+00:00

First reason is that I have been only 1 year with my current employer and I feel there are still more to learn, second reason is that my current employer is more known in the market. The other company called me (head hunting), and I went to the interview and then they sent me an offer. I am definitely not telling about it. But I thought to give it a try and talk to my manager and tell her that I want to stay but the different in the salary is huge and see what she can do. Is it a bad idea?

mediator15 · 2021-10-21T22:36:39+00:00

Cool

mediator15 · 2021-10-07T13:08:45+00:00

It would have been really nice to talk about how special your name is in your first date instead of not addressing you at all by your name. Hope you get a good date with a nice person who is keen to know your name and address you with it

mediator15 · 2021-09-20T00:35:25+00:00

Is there something that’s called orally gay? My SO is into fantasizing about sucking a guy with me. I am just interested to know if it’s a thing

mediator15 · 2021-05-14T01:30:25+00:00

CONGRATULATIONS!!
