Hello everyone, I am a UI/UX and graphic designer in hyderabad with 6 years of experience across domains including motion design, Video editing, 3D design, Workflow automation design (n8n) and web devlopment (html, css and JS also Framer).

I am planning to move to Dubai to search for job that aligns with my skills. Since mainstream corporate jobs are highly competitive, what if I start as a graphic designer in any local print agency and then look for better opportunities while staying in Dubai?

Does this a smart strategy or should I reconsider?

How do you handle a boss who shouts a lot?

Not just at me, but at everyone.

The strange part is that the next moment he acts completely normal and chill, but I feel like I’m getting emotionally affected by it. Even when he calls me for something routine, my heart starts racing. Sometimes my mind goes completely blank and I can’t focus properly. My body even feels cold during those moments. Is this a normal stress response, or am I overreacting?

Hi r/UAEjobseekers

I landed in Dubai in July of 2024 and have been looking for jobs ever since. I was a fresh graduate with around a year of experience as a Full Stack Developer under my belt. I have tried almost everything here, applying online, messaging people, whatsapp groups, trying through references (for context my father has been here since 18 years, he works in real estate).

Nothing has worked so far, I did get an internship opportunity working as a Java developer (which is the preferred tech stack I want to work on) but that internship did not result in much as the company was going through some internal turmoil of their own.

I even tried making projects and keeping an active github to no avail.

Only opportunity I got was from reddit when I made a post and someone reached out and while everything went well, I ended up being ghosted while trying to discuss the notice period flexibility when they gave me the offer.

Does anyone have any idea what I am doing wrong? 2 years of my life have been spent on this trying to utilize my resident visa to absolutely 0 results. no interview calls even

My visa expires on the 29th of July and I honestly no longer know what to do

If anyone knows anything and could guide me in any direction whatsoever I’d be grateful

Thankyou

Hi all,

I’m currently seeking a Creative Director or Creative Lead role in Dubai. I have 8+ years of experience in the industry and moved to Dubai quite recently, only to land a job and then get laid off. Any support is greatly appreciated.
