You might not need to come to Dubai to job hunt. You might want to apply from Nigeria online and through agencies that hire people in senior positions. Accountants in senior roles with reputable companies are smiling here. With your level of experience and qualifications you can get a good offer. Avoid start up companies and make sure school allowance for kids if you have kids and accomodation allowance is included in your salary. Aim for the big and established companies in Dubai. If you really want to come here and try, take a short leave from work to job hunt.

Well, with this quote, u can as well move to Somalia, Libya or North Korea.

I wish u d best in ur choices.

centoqoh:
So u know all these and u are wasting ur time and our time here on Dubai thread?

Besides d tax free salaries, have u considered possible citizenship 2ru number of yrs of residence or marriage or in investments; Canada, Australia, New Zealand etc offer? The easy life because of no Sharia law?

You don't get these with ur tax-free salary in UAE.

I don't know about u but as I dey move out of Naija, Permanent Residence is my goal.

Me I juz tire with his responses, I mean he shud be think Australia, Canada, US, etc and not UAE haba, UAE where u and ur children unborn have no right whatsoever even if you spend hundred years there.

Anyway him own better, some of us are still reasoning 2-3k jobs to coup with.

We all have different aspirations in life bro/sis.. I am sure he is well aware of prospect for those countries and yet maybe he chose UAE for the NO TAX, COOL SALARY... He alone understands that

I didn't even see this before replying the previous as I was catching up from the last page I last read. All the best in making your decisions prayerful. Very important!

You can make plans to relocate here to work but you just need to have a plan B and possibly C, in case things don’t go your main plan’s way.
Sure, working here is going to be more financially rewarding than what you’re presently earning but it’s still boils down to you getting a job first, which is not an easy task.
UAE job market is an employers market. The employers mostly look beyond those certificates you’re holding before even inviting you for interviews, where you can prove your mettle to the hiring team. The passport you’re holding is one of them, and you know the value of our Nigeria passport.
Even when you eventually get your dream job in uae, it will still be a wise decision for you to have plans to move to a better country later, where you and your family can call a home. Hence, people’s advice that you should move to any of those countries once and for all, rather than wasting resources to come here first.
Although, UAE isn’t that bad bro. I left a government job to come here, a decision some colleagues considered as too risky because of what they heard about here.
I need to admit that it wasn’t easy at first but when you win, you’ll be glad you make the move.
The challenges we face here differs, In terms of industry and weather you’re seeking/doing a skilled/unskilled job.
As for me, I’m being paid 8k lower than my predecessor who is Arabic. Official vehicle was also removed from the package, The scheduled 3k pay rise after 6months probation became 1k with just little explanation. I still stick to my job anyway, because I love what I do and besides, it’s not so demanding as I mostly work for about 3hrs per day.

ifyalways:
Hahaha. Afam , longest time sef.

The way dude is thirsty for Dubai, it begats the question if hes truly who/what he claims . I havent seen anyone earning even 350K in Naija currently, aiming to relocate and first choice is UAE. Everyone looks at countries with better prospect and benefits for the family unit and hes here chasing Dubai like

Anyway, every mallam with him kettle.

ifyalways:
Just beats me why hes not considering Europe or North America with all his certification and degrees. He wants to go to UAE where an Indian/Paki with school cert will be picked ten times over him

The mind boggles.

nnamdi16:
Then move over to canada thread if there's any and start making plans for such country, uae has no future for foreigners and with 500k/month you can make good plan to move over to canada for skilled job/visa and of course you can raise your family over there. Just think about it

nnamdi16:
Just to chip in a little advise, why not ask for leave from your current work place and then use that opportunity to travel down to uae to do your own survey and possibly hunt for job and if you eventually land a job, you'll proceed from there and if not at least you get to see how things works and you still have your job to return to.

my 1 cent

RealityShot:
I believe that, what NIGHTLIFE100 & manneger2 are trying to say is that
With all your qualifications, you should start applying online till you get a suitable job offer above your current,
Then you can move over there.


GOOD luck.


When some of us are jumping there to job hunt,
It's because we earn less than 500aed here...
So a 1000aed job with accommodation looks pretty from here...

LOL... The way manneger2 is talking... Even after renting his own apartment in less than a year of moving there... He must have seen THINGS...

manneger2, Bros share ya experience please, some of us are planning to raid our life saving to go there O! Lol
Thank you

NIGHTLIFE100:
I see your reasoning but what happen to Canada Federal Skilled Worker Program? Skilled worker is the most suitable and reasonable for your claimed qualification...A professional should never think of visit visa to job hunt in any country, I sense desperation and sorry if my Choice of words don’t go well with you but I doubt your claim anyway, best of luck in whatever

NIGHTLIFE100:
Leaving a job of 500k to job hunt in another country is sickening, personally I won’t advice it. Secure a job online from Nigeria don’t come and be dragging housekeeping job with Indians, I repeat Stay away from UAE visit visa for the sole purpose of job hunt... it’s more difficult to secure a job now as Africans honestly, regardless of your qualifications. An average Nigerian working in uae is looking to migrate to another country. A country where you can have a life and probably become citizen someday, and hey! If you’re going to be honest with yourself more than 30% of African immigrants in America don’t have 500k naira after tax, house rent and utilities
