Confused about my career direction... Flutter dev moving to Dubai, need guidance from seniors

Hey everyone, I really need some honest guidance from people with more experience than me.

I have 1 year of experience as a Flutter developer. I was working at a company in Pakistan but had to leave because my family is in Dubai and I'm moving there in the next couple of weeks. I didn't renew my contract because of this.

Now I'm sitting here trying to figure out what to actually do to get a job in Dubai and I'm honestly lost.

Here's what's been happening:

A senior of mine told me to apply for ML internships in Dubai and start preparing for ML interviews. I applied, prepared for weeks, got no reply, and now I feel like I wasted that time.

I've also started learning frontend web development on the side thinking it would help my chances.

But now I feel like I'm doing too many things at once and none of them properly.

My core question is: should I continue with Flutter, switch my stack entirely, or do something else?

I don't know if Flutter is even in demand in Dubai at my experience level. I don't know if 1 year is enough to compete there. I don't know if web dev was a smart move or just panic learning.

If any seniors or experienced devs here have been in a similar situation or know the Dubai market, please guide me. What would you do in my position? What's the most practical path to actually getting hired?

I just want to stop second guessing and move in one clear direction.

Taking my pc from Pakistan to Dubai. What's the safest way ?

I’m moving to Dubai in about 1 2 weeks and I want to take my desktop PC with me.

Not sure what the safest options tbh.

Should I just carry the whole PC in checked luggage, or is that risky? I’ve heard people say to remove the GPU and pack it separately is that enough?

Also, has anyone tried shipping a full PC from Pakistan to Dubai through a courier? Was it safe or not worth the risk?

I don’t have original boxes for all parts, so that’s another concern.

so if anyone could recommend me a courier or any shipping service that could actually to that for me ?

Would really appreciate advice from anyone who’s actually done this

pc is a mid tower with gpu 4060ti
