For years, Dubai has been a popular work destination for expatriates. The kind of jobs, salaries and lifestyle offered by the place is considered unparalleled by many. There are jobs in almost all sectors that one can take up. Dubai has developed a lot over the last10-15 years. Still, the rate of growth in Dubai is unabated. It has witnessed an explosion in development. With such a fast rate of growth in all sectors, the demand for foreign workforce has also grown exponentially. The employment opportunities and jobs in Dubai are many more than what used to be a decade ago. It is not just oil & gas jobs that are available but jobs in IT, construction, banking, healthcare, teaching etc are also up for grabs in Dubai.
Jobs in Dubai are available at all work levels. Earlier, there was a perception that only unskilled labourers migrated to the Gulf to take up menial jobs. This has completely changed now. There are specialist jobs for which the local population cannot suffice and highly qualified and experienced expatriates are roped in. Dubai has lived up to its reputation of being a very good pay master. The compensation and incentives paid by employers in Dubai is what is the major attraction that pulls expatriates into this emirate. Not just that, Dubai also offers a liberal and luxurious lifestyle to people staying here for jobs.
For those who wish to take up jobs in Dubai, it is recommended to get an idea of the lifestyle of Dubai before migrating there. Although the lifestyle is liberal, it would still be a lot different than that in your home country. If you know somebody who is already working in Dubai or if you can join an online forum of expatriates working in Dubai, it would help you a lot. You would get a first-hand account of the life and work in Dubai. Also, you can contact your employer before relocation and clear all your doubts about the laws and regulation in Dubai. The legal system is strict and a lot different than western countries so it will be better to have an overview of it before moving there. The PRO at your employer’s place would help you through all this information.
As per the Income Tax laws in United Arab Emirates, workers are not supposed to pay any income tax. This makes the take home salary quite high. This allows for a lot of savings too. Some expatriates come to Dubai to make life-time savings. Three-four years of working here allows that. One can enjoy a very sociable life in Dubai other than work. There are many social clubs that one can join as per individual interests and preferences. These also provide good opportunities for women and children to get to know each other and do activities of interest together. There are all international brands in Dubai for shopping. In fact, it is considered a shopping Mecca so one can buy very good stuff in Dubai. Over all, the living experience in Dubai can be quite rewarding if one is open to a few adjustments initially.
