hi, i am in a similar predicament, though i havent gotten the formal offer yet. i did a bit of research using the following: 1. getting the relative rates of the same position (and pay) compared to my home country (philippines). you may check http://www.payscale.com for this info. the job will not b...

why not get a job in singapore? i'd think it offers similar wages and you're going to be just 4hr drive from malaysia.. if u have a singapore option i recommend u go there rather than dubai. my son was asking me yesterday and only then did i realize,, iran is right across dubai,, and of course iraq ...

i think if u love it in HK better stay

ive been to singapore and KL a good number of times and if you the salaries are not that far off i definitely prefer KL. of course, working in SG already gives you a currency headstart which you can use to spend in KL

but if KL is already pretty good to live in i think.

in beijing definitely take the trip to the forbidden city,, and of course the great wall of china, its an amazing place to be at, seeing how big it really is and how thousands of people took hundred of years to complete it,, really a marvel to behold. ideal to take a tourist guide or a bus tour as t...

sorry out of topic but i just have to say the Nintendo Wii is quite good and you might want to consider ahead of the 360 or PS3. happy gaming.

i would agree with jabba,, no reason to worry unless you've put out a one-page announcement in the papers explaining your woes

and someone has to complain for a case to be filed i suppose. i think this case is true for most countries and not just the UAE

studstar

a bit more formal but definitely an alternative is to get internship through student organizations if you are a member-- such as AIESEC,, or send a note to the human resources dept of the company you want to target for a more direct intake

perhaps the reason some people like to buy love with money is because they think they can actually buy love with money.. im most most of us agree that the only way you get love,, is when you give love, not necessarily money-- although money could part of how you support the one you love (not to the ...

it could be a positive for expats as the 'threat' would make Dubai again more of a hardship location and mean more potential dollars in renegotiated packages? just a thought

its pretty safe for foreigners actually no need to worry. where exactly in manila is the paintball match? just be respectful to anyone, which is the same as in any country. dont go talking to little boys or girls lest you are misinterpreted. if you come into any trouble send me a pm. dont carry too ...

the hyundai tucson offers the same specs i think on a lower price. but the crv is known for quality work so i am sure in the long term it pays for itself. nice body too.

I'm moving to Dubai in December, first month on hotel accommodation and then i'm on my own by January. Some people i know advised me that living in Sharjah saves them a lot as opposed to areas like Al Qusais that are nearer to my office,, not sure i got the areas right,, lol, my office will be near ...

have them specify the amount of the other allowances so you can gauge better.

i've noticed that as well in most research i did, that as opposed to other growing areas, dubai doesnt seem to have a lot to offer YET to IT professionals, as opposed to say, opportunities in Singapore- which are aplenty. You might wnt to consider down there first then perhaps making your way to Dub...
