Seriously AC, what do you think it says about YOU that you've spent eight years saying how much you hate not only your job, but also the place you live, yet you're STILL HERE??
Simple question, how many other jobs have you applied for in that time? If EK and Dubai is as bad as you say, SURLEY better alternatives have been available? Hell, in that time you could have gotten an MBA and done something entirely different with your life.
I know forums like this become confrontational, but I genuinely feel sorry for you- what is it that has kept you here this long if you are that miserable?
