I recently went through a job loss in Dubai, and I’ve been trying to understand if this is something others are experiencing too or if it’s just my situation.
From what I’m seeing, there seems to be a shift in the job market more layoffs, longer hiring cycles, and roles taking much longer to close than before.
I’m curious:
Are others experiencing job loss or instability right now in Dubai?
If yes, are people choosing to stay and rebuild here, or are they leaving the UAE and going back home or elsewhere?
What’s been your strategy to stay financially stable during this period?
Would really appreciate honest experiences, not theory. Just trying to understand what reality looks like on the ground right now.

I built a business out of impulsivity.. its an e-commerce business and bought a stock that if it sell its worth 500k aed. My problem now is i dont know digital marketing and social media and then lost my job and now i cant even pay agency to advertise. My products are just stuck and dont know what to do.😢

Does anyone else feel like planning travel is weirdly exhausting now?

I personally take almost 2 weeks to properly plan a trip.

Between flights, hotels, restaurants, TikToks, hidden gems, visa rules, budgeting, maps, and trying to build the “perfect itinerary,” it becomes a full-time project.

Then the funny part is… when I actually reach the destination, I end up discovering so many things I completely missed while planning.

Sometimes I ditch the itinerary completely and just go with the flow and those become the best moments.

But other times I stick to the itinerary and later regret not doing the spontaneous things I came across.

Feels like there’s always a gap between planning and the actual experience.

Curious:
- How long does it usually take you to create a concrete travel plan?
- What part of travel planning drains you the most?
- Do you follow your itinerary or end up changing plans during the trip?
