Not sure what the confused emojis mean but yeah the plan is 4-5 years then come back before my kid starts school pretty much financially independent. I'm mid thirties now and am ready a change of scenery from the UK. Noticed more crime in my suburb, fed up with govt BS, general public's attitude, higher cost of living and no meaningful salary uplift, generally not a place I want to bring a baby up in.
The safety in Dubai is a huge factor for me - people literally leave their cars open at night, keys and phone down at a bar to secure a table while you order drinks. Imagine doing that in London. Communities that are maintained, spotless public toilets, multicultural population living in harmony.
There are a lot of stereotypes about Dubai, the labour market, weather etc etc that are either not true or have nuances to them. Builders and nannies for example earn around 4-5x per month in UAE vs in India or Philippines for similar jobs. Slave labour Rez - have you ever been to the USA? Do you live in the UK? Does the slave labour that contributed to these countries prosperity not bother you?
DXB airport is another factor - being within 4-7 hours flight of Maldives, Mauritius, most of Asia, Africa etc is amazing. In my recent trip to Dubai I likened it to NYC in the 1930s - boom town and full of opportunity. Interesting responses to a request for help!
already started your government job i see

whats the sterotype about the weather??
companies house only if they have registered their address as home address. Most would register under accountants address or under the business address. Sometimes can just google surname and first half of postcode if you know where they live to see what comes up. Planning applications etc. often registered under home address so can be a way of finding it.
Been offered a job in Dubai with an institutional govt company. Great salary, perks, etc. I accepted and have scoped out areas to live etc with the family. Mrs is on board and has mates out there already.
Anyone currently in the middle east working or have experience there? Keen to know any tips etc you might have for the first few months.
Currently trying to figure out non dom status, renting house out in the UK, finding a place and car in Dubai, investment accounts as investing in isa is not permitted. Slowly getting there but all a bit daunting

I would love to have a job out there. Probably the safest place in the world, certainly the only place I have seen were nobody locks their front door. Imagine leaving your wallet and laptop and phone on your outside table whilst you go for a piss, it just beggars believe.
Immense range of entertainment for all types and the quality of the decor, food, service is always excellent. Every brand you can think of is represented from all product types. Valet parking everywhere you go, free underground parking everywhere else. I wouldn't want to live there forever but for a few years on that tax free dollar it would be great.

I don't have access to a time machine where I can go and live in the antebellum period or colonial Britain.
But I could go and live and work in Dubai in 2022 quite easily but I wouldn't because there are huge human rights abuses which I'd find hard to ignore.
Hope that clears things up!
