Is it safe to switch jobs in these times?

I'm in a stable job now and yesterday I got a new offer from Easa Saleh Al Gurg LLC. Is it safe to switch jobs in these war times.

My concerns:

Because a few people who switched jobs now are getting their visa change/cancellation process delayed or even rejected and now they're kinda stranded in between jobs.

There are people who are getting laid off even though they're working for a reputed company. What's the guarantee that the same won't happen to me.

Need advice/ Suggestions

Thank you.

On Wednesday, networking event for hospitality and entertainment professionals that have lost their jobs

This event is happening on Wednesday. It was shared with me in a Telegram group, and it seems to be targeted for those in the hospitality and associated entertainment industries that have recently lost their jobs. It could be a nice networking event. By the way, I have no association with the organisers. I'm just sharing it in case it's of interest to anyone.

Applying to PM roles in GCC - UAE/Saudi but hitting a wall; need guidance

I’m looking for some honest advice from folks who’ve successfully broken into Product Management roles in the GCC (especially UAE & Saudi).

I’ve been actively exploring opportunities in this region, but I’m realizing that applying through traditional channels (LinkedIn, careers page, etc.) isn’t yielding much traction.

A bit about me: – Product Manager with 7+ years experience in fintech & ecommerce [Have worked on 0→1 products, GTM, and core user journeys]

Where I need help:

- What actually works when applying to PM roles in GCC?

- Are referrals/networking the only real way in? If yes, how do you approach it effectively?

- Any specific recruiters / agencies that genuinely help with PM roles in UAE/Saudi?

- Do companies prefer candidates already based there? If yes, how did you overcome that?

- Any resume/positioning tweaks that worked for you?

I’d really appreciate any tactical advice, real experiences, or even hard truths about the process.

I am not from IIT/IIM

Tier 2 UG & MBA

No Connections, Just Determination.MBA Graduate Looking for a Job in Dubai

Hi everyone,

I’m currently an MBA student in Dubai and will be graduating in about 2 months. I’m actively looking for a full-time opportunity and could really use some guidance or referrals from this community.

A bit about me:

  • Special interest in HR roles (entry-level/fresher)
  • Also open to operations, logistics, or admin roles
  • Around 1 year of work experience in India
  • 2–3 months of experience in Dubai

I come from a family where both my parents are retired, so starting my career and supporting them is really important to me right now.

Unfortunately, the company I was interning with has suspended the program due to ongoing war-related tensions, which has made the situation a bit more urgent.

If anyone knows of any openings, can offer referrals, or even share advice on where to apply, I would be extremely grateful. Thank you so much in advance 🙏

Hiring: Social Media Manager in Dubai

I run a few consumer apps and need help growing them. Looking for someone comfortable in Reddit, Discord & social media communities, good with Canva, and confident managing paid ads.

The role involves finding the right communities for each app, creating content, running email newsletters, and managing ad spend to drive downloads and subscriptions.

Pay is 5,000 AED per month. The role is remote-friendly and you'd need your own UAE residency as I can't offer a visa right now, though we can revisit that after 12 months if things go well.

If you're looking to get back on your feet with all the madness going on in the UAE and have relevant experience, drop me a DM, I won't respond if you don't share a portfolio of your work.
