I am looking for a remote job (online job ) I am 22 and still a senior student in university. Im Emirati female who looking forward to stay home but at the same time work . if anybody has an idea or an opportunity plz help a girl out

Hi, I’m 29F from India and I’ll be visiting UAE in August. I have 9 years of experience in India across customer experience and HNI travel concierge. I wanted to understand are there good opportunities in Dubai or UAE for my profile. I’m also looking for opportunities which pay a minimum 9k. I do have some savings and I can easily stay in Dubai for at least 3 months. I have contacted a few recruiters on LinkedIn and all of them want me to be in UAE to proceed further for an interview.
Also please do let me know it’s a good idea to come to UAE and if my Indian experience will count. Thank you.

So I’m current a Creative Director at one of India’s leading media network. My total work ex is 10 years and I’ve worked as a social media content strategist, content (video) director/writer, brand content lead - across the decade. I’m at 30L+ per annum presently. My spouse has received a job offer of ~30,000 AED from Dubai and we are contemplating our move. My question is - will I be able to secure a job in a similar industry on a similar designation and a progressive hike, in Dubai? Does advertising industry in Dubai hold space for such roles or is it less likely given my debut in Dubai? Will my India experience hold weight or am I better off continuing in India?

Looking for Senior Backend / Engineering Lead roles in Dubai or Saudi Arabia. Immediate joiner.

If you're hiring or know someone who is, DM me and I'll send my resume. Any lead is appreciated! 🙏

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.

Gonna keep this short and to the point. The Market has been rough, things have been hard and I am just trying to support My Mother and Father

I have 10 years of senior level in Dubai specifically. Having worked with companies such as Nike, Yamaha, Suzuki, Kuaishou Technology and Redbull to name a few.

I can speak both English and Arabic with full native fluency, I work extremely well with teams plus I believe that I am excellent when it comes to client facing situations or when ideas have to be relayed in an articulate/ accurate manner.

If you have any connections to a social media agency or you yourself are looking for someone. I am your guy. I can share both my CV and portfolio upon request. Give me a chance to show you exactly what I can do.

I can also do very, very high level Marketing campaigns and have the evidence to prove it.

Any help would seriously be greatly appreciated and thank you in advance. Hope you have a great night. Take care of yourselves everyone.

PS. I have also been told I am mildly funny, so that’s a pro too I guess? 😅

Hello Good Evening.

A friend of mine from Italy and currently in Dubai urgently looking for a Talented Web / Software Designer for a freelance Gig.

Kindly reach out let discuss further if you got some time to spare for this gig.

Thank you.

Note: This is a paid Gig. You negotiate your price and proceed further.

I need your help, is this a good idea?

NEED YOUR VOTE ON THIS.

I want to start a "Spotlight of the Day" on this sub.

One person. One post. Their real story.

Not a CV. Not a LinkedIn summary.

The stuff nobody puts on paper, what went wrong, what surprised them about the UAE, what they'd tell themselves on day one, who helped them when nobody had to.

Business owners, job seekers, freelancers.. same questions for everyone.

No editing. No filter. Their words exactly as they wrote them.

The idea is simple: this sub has 14K people and most of you are invisible to each other. The spotlight changes that.. one person at a time.

If this sounds worth doing, I'll set it up this week. If it sounds like noise, tell me that too.

Would you fill one out if the form existed?

Hi everyone. I’m currently going through a very difficult situation and badly need advice or guidance.

I lost my job in Dubai last April, and my visa will be cancelled by the end of this month. I still have a grace period until the end of June, so I’m trying my best every single day to find work before I’m forced to leave the country.

I have experience in hospitality/concierge/customer service and have been applying daily, but unfortunately I still haven’t received interviews or offers yet.

Right now, our financial situation is very hard. Our credit cards are maxed out, we still have a car loan, and even our Tabby balance is fully used. We also have a 2-month-old baby. Thankfully, we already got her passport, and we’re planning to process her Emirates ID as a backup in case we need to travel temporarily and return later.

My wife is still employed in a hotel but currently on maternity leave, so at the moment I’m the one urgently trying to secure income and stability for our family.

I honestly don’t know if it’s better to keep staying in Dubai and continue trying until the grace period ends, or go back home temporarily before things get worse financially.

If anyone has gone through something similar, I would truly appreciate your advice, recommendations, or even job leads. Thank you for taking the time to read this.

I got my work visa cancelled on 31st of March and got 88 days to find another one.

A very reputable company hired me on 10th of April and started working for them.

I asked them to apply for my visa and they said Pakistani visa are getting denied we will apply in may.

And on 10th of may I heard owner sister speaking in Russian to her friend that we will not process his visa once he finishes the work that was left by previous accountant we will ask him to leave give you job.

I got very anxious and asked owner why you wasted my time

And he fired me and said if you want to work you can work on daily basis but we will not process visa.

Now I have max 15k savings with me.. Should I get my own visa or still look for a job. I have time till 27th of June.

I've been a 3D Visualizer for over 10 years, and about 3 years ago I got into game development — which eventually led me down the rabbit hole of interactive walkthroughs in Unreal Engine. Wanted to share some thoughts and genuinely curious if others in the industry feel the same way.

For anyone unfamiliar: the traditional visualization pipeline means you model everything, render it out as stills or a video, and hand it over to the client. Good softwares, solid results — whether you're using 3ds Max, V-Ray, Corona, Lumion, D5, whatever your workflow is.

But the landscape has shifted. AI has made it possible for people with very little design experience to produce photoreal outputs that would've taken years to develop before. The competition in that space is brutal now and it's only getting worse.

Here's the thing though — AI hasn't fully cracked interactive walkthroughs yet, and I'm honestly surprised more studios aren't jumping on this.

An interactive walkthrough is exactly what it sounds like: instead of handing a client a static image or a flythrough video, you hand them an experience. They walk through the space themselves, first-person, like they're playing a game. Open doors, switch lights on and off, swap materials, move furniture, change color schemes — all in real time. You can deliver it as a standalone app or take it further into full VR with an HMD for a completely different level of immersion.

So why isn't this more common? My best guesses:

A lot of visualization artists don't have the technical background to build this kind of pipeline

Client awareness and demand is still low — many clients don't even know this is an option

The perceived cost probably puts people off before the conversation even starts

I think this is genuinely underexplored territory in the industry right now. Would be interested to hear from others — are you offering this? Tried it and walked away? Or is there a reason I'm missing?

Hi everyone,

I’ve been struggling to even get interviews despite having 6+ years of experience in finance, FP&A, reporting, ERP implementation, cash flow management, and business operations across the UAE and South Asia. I’m also comfortable in client-facing and business development roles due to my current experience handling customers, risks, and business solutions.

Looking for opportunities above AED 12K. I’m on a spouse visa, so no sponsorship or health insurance is required — only work permit support if needed.

Available immediately. Any referral, lead, or connection would genuinely help.

Maybe IBD or PE or S&T, how’s DIFC for entry level analysts, and where do they post most of the jobs here ? On their websites or any job search app? Thanks

Hi everyone! I’m currently looking for side hustles or part-time work, preferably something that pays daily or weekly.

I have a degree in English, so I’m available for:
- English tutoring
- Writing/proofreading help
- Remote assistant work

I previously worked as an Executive Assistant, so I also have experience with:
- Administrative support
- Excel and office tasks
- AI tools
- Graphic design
- Website coordination/design support
- General day-to-day business assistance

I’m also open to:
Pet sitting / dog walking

I was recently laid off, and unfortunately my final settlement has been delayed for over a month, so I’m currently trying to find ways to stay afloat, pay rent, and cover groceries while I wait for it to be resolved.

If you or someone you know might need help with any of the above, I’d really appreciate it. Thank you so much 🙏🏻
