Hi
I know these types of questions have been asked numerous times and I have read a lot of posts in relation to moving to Dubai from the UK, however it would be really great if anyone on here can tell me their own experience. I have never been to Dubai but have been offered (very nearly) a job which is a fantastic opportunity for me. I am all for moving, although I don't know anyone, besides my boss, and currently have nowhere to live etc or have any clue about where to start.
Please help. Any advice/recommendations would be amazing!
Thank you.
Hayley

It’s difficult to know where to start to give you advice. My first advice would be visit here don’t just move blind (although many do) it’s not for everyone. Apart from that you really need to pay close attention to the financial side of things, get your formal job offer and then work out whether you can afford to live. It’s expensive to live here and to be here when short of money will be miserable. You can’t really start to plan until you know where you are going to work and how much you will earn. Don’t plan based on promises or ‘nearly’ job offers wait until you have the offer in black and white. Also don’t plan based on promises of commission etc. Apologies if I sound negative, I’m not at all, I’m just realistic and have seen many people being sold a dream that doesn’t exist.
