Hi everyone,
I’m currently in a bit of a career crossroads. Due to a job loss in 2025, I’ve had to take a position that is identical to the one I held back in 2015. While I'm grateful for the income, I’m not happy. I have a strong urge to build something of my own, but I’m hesitant to risk my current stability.
I’m looking for some guidance on how to spend my time outside of work.
Career Questions:
IoT Business: Should I leverage my technical background to start an IoT venture on the side?
Trading: I feel a strong pull toward learning to trade, though I’d need to start from scratch. Is this a viable path or just "shiny object syndrome"?
AI Services: Should I focus on the AI space since I already work in the field given the current market trends?
Asset Question:
Real Estate: Is now a good time to buy a rental property? I’m worried about the current economic climate in the UAE, but I’m also afraid of being priced out if I wait too long.
I appreciate any insights you can share. Please excuse me if these questions seem silly. I’m just trying to find the right path forward.
P.S. Words are mine but rephrased through AI
