Hi There

I have the same thought as you have, but coming from Sweden.
I hear that the market is affected as well in Dubai, but I wonder if it can really be the same as in Europe and US.

Would be nice to know some other girls that will move over...not to be completely alone!

Hi

I am moving to Dubai and would like to find a safe comfortable home.
Would only share a flat with other women.
Anyone that has the same plans as myself?

cheers

Hi there, no good time to come to Dubai you recon? Job market isnt better there than it is outside? If the expats ran away from their depts, leaving their work, who replaced them? Stuck in Sweden seeing the market fall here, thinking of coming to Dubai...but perhaps that is just no better... give me...

thanks for the swift reply Robby. I am working within Finance, company called GE.. I really think that I would be outnumbered by all well educated people in Dubai that seeks a job right now...but cant blame a girl for wanting the taste of it too! I thinking of taking the MBA, and as well try to find...

Thanks! that was a really good advise to check for the Uni´s possible reduced costs

Wonder though it Bahrain and Qatar is less affected... but ti probably will come there too, the depression....

Hopefully this thing will turn in a year..

Nivine79

that is well understood, thanks

the welfare system in Sweden is indeed in place. Although, it is limited. But surely better than nothing! I wouldnt pack my bags and go over for nothing, it surely needs to be somewhat secure. My plan is to take the MBA, see through the year, and then look for a job if/when the market turns. Any stu...

would you say it is worse in Dubai with lay offs, than it is in Europe currently? Europe just started....

Nivine79

skin color is indeed a factor still, very sadly.
But tell me, is it in all working sector that the unemployment started, or mostly in the industrial and real estate?

by the way where will all people go, if they do not have any social well fare.... that is the scary part for sure... UAE government does not help any of them, they just have to return home?
wonder where the best place is to be right now...

Nivine79

may I ask, what do you work with? I am, unfortunately, in the finance industry... so to apply nowadays to banks or finance providers is not fun. Dont even get responses. here in Sweden you have postings that have been applied by over 900 applicants. so you most of the time does not get a response ev...

Guess the people who live there and got fired would know what really happend. As an outsider, would be very interesting to know the REAL status of Dubai. The media has only brought up the construction projects that is delayed or cancelled, which is one effect of the crisis. in the economic forum...t...

Hi Sandy,
plan to arrive within 3 months time. A house in these times might be good to rent if value goes down further? My first time in Dubai so all advise is appreciated.

Hi Nivine, Just saw your post... Are you an Interior Designer as well? Hi Nessie No, I am working within Finance in Sweden currently. Its sad to hear that the economic downturn has come to Dubai too! But nevertheless, I am determined to try it still, although wanting a job before I arrive there. My...

Hi All, I am planning to come to Dubai, even though the times are clearly not better there than anywhere else... but nevertheless.. My question is, what do you do in Dubai on weekends and after work. How´s the culture like in the city, it is not like going out for a drink after work I suppose? drink...

That sounds strange... Learning institutions in Dubai are offering distance learning for people who are working....so this must mean that you can indeed work and at the same time study. If you study with your own funds, you should be able to work as well. it is on your free time that you are a stude...

Thanks Shaq for the heads up. There is one ranked MBA school in Dubai, Hult. But surely not as recognized as any other European or US MBA school.
Life sounds though in Dubai! I hope you all manage through this storm, and can return back home if needed.
