If a new mover want to model, visit itsdivya-dot-com. Its a fresh agency for fresh faces, send them an email with your resume and pics and they can even arrange for a portfolio.

Hi, I was wondering if anyone here could give me any advice. I currently work as a development manager in the UK, I have about 15 years experience in IT, 13 coding and the last 2 in management. My job entails line management of staff together with project management, resource planning, some BA type work. I have an honours degree in Computer Science.

I am hoping to move to Dubai towards the end of the year.

I currently earn around £44K, looking on various job websites it looks like you can't earn anything like this money in Dubai...is this true?

Also, which are the best website to use when job-hunting? I've been to a few but like I say the salaries put me off, I am approaching some of the bigger companies direct.

Are there plenty of ex-pat groups out there, I would be a single female moving to Dubai and am hoping that there is a bit of an ex-pat network out there.

Any advice is appreciated.

Thanks

Helen

Hi, I am an architect with 8 year of experience. My boss is trying to convince me to relocate to Dubai and set up an office. Could someone tell me how much a local firm would pay to hire an architect with similar experience? I am thinking around AED 28,000/month or so but I don't know if this is enough......accommodation/car/insurance will be on top of this.
I will be living with my girlfriend (and yes I know its illegal but everyone does it right?) She wanna take some language courses in Dubai. Could someone give me a link to those school?

Thanks!!

Many people do this, but remember that it is illegal. If you are unmarried you will not be able to sponsor her and she cannot stay indefinitely on visit visas.

Yea, she will be using a visit visa till we get married
In terms of salary, could you tell me how much I should ask for to be able to support me & my gf? I need to get back to my boss on this soon :S

To support both of you, ask for 25,000 per month minimum. That's inclusive of all allowances.

[FragilePsycho]

Great!! Thank you very much, Alli!!

Tell everyone she is your wife, it will make life easier for you both

Also, your gf can easily get a job teaching English and the school should sponsor her resident visa. Does she have a degree? A TEFL course would also be a bonus.
