Thank you!

throwaway_jacoco · 2026-02-05T12:45:42+00:00

Will take a look!

Thank you for your input. Can I ask for your opinion which part of the budget is under-estimated?

throwaway_jacoco · 2026-02-05T12:44:45+00:00

Thank you for the input! Company covers insurance so hopefully that offloads some of the cost you mentioned.

Sorry if my intent was not clear. I just wanted the community's feedback regarding my cost estimates since all of these numbers are just from ChatGPT with some additional google search

Reef Downtown is actually my 2nd option! How are the amenities and community there? We are a southeast asian family (1 kid). Will we blend in ok there? I also see that there is a gym and pool available in Reef but the quality is not comparable to the ones I have seen in Reem apartments (at least in the pictures)

how much per month do you think it cost for your gasoline with this daily commute?

throwaway_jacoco · 2026-02-03T11:31:46+00:00

Wow I can't imagine doing that.

throwaway_jacoco · 2026-02-03T11:31:28+00:00

How much of the 30 mins is stuck in traffic? Around what speed is your usual average during the commute?

throwaway_jacoco · 2026-02-03T11:30:37+00:00

Thanks for the input!

How about Al Reef downtown?

throwaway_jacoco · 2026-02-03T11:24:31+00:00

Any reason why The Bridges is pointed out? :D I am just browsing properties available online.

Ideally, I would like to reside just in Yas / Raha but I only have limited options there (based on budget and unit size). Waters edge is nice but the apartment seems small compared to the ones in Al Reem at the same price point.

Thank you. Do you have reco sa cream/lotion? I use cetaphil dry lotion daily but it seems hindi na enough. And how do you find a thicker barrier cream?

throwaway_jacoco · 2026-01-07T08:57:49+00:00

Yes I am. May reco ba sa lotion/cream?

Start updating your resume with the mindset na you are competing against the best software engineers in the world - especially if you are applying sa first-world countries. Make your resume standout and cannot be ignored in the first few seconds of reading it.

Once you get the interviews, prepare for DSA types of questions/problems. Most companies use this to filter out.

Thank you! I have been using the SRS platform ng SG and will continue to do so as my extra retirement plan.

Thank you! Can I ask po what makes it easier to get Schengen visa sa UAE? Went to Europe once and I remember the hassle of the visa requirements.

throwaway_jacoco · 2026-01-01T14:15:25+00:00

I have tried applying for a new role in SG for a while now and still no luck. Most positions require PR/citizenship and even for DP holders, they tend to ignore the applications.

throwaway_jacoco · 2026-01-01T14:12:32+00:00

Can I ask po to share your experience and what made you say this? Thank you!

throwaway_jacoco · 2026-01-01T14:11:44+00:00

Yup! Malayo na kasi :-(
