Hey guys,
I'm not saying that the UAE is a crime free country or the perfect place to live, i'm just saying that the overall compromise is good.
From your (everyone) writings, it feels like it's a **** hole while it's not even close to be the case.
When people think: i hate the country and the people in it but i stay coz i love the cash so much, will just make you and the people around you miserable, grab the bull by the horn and seek happiness elsewhere.
I wish you all happiness in your lives.

Just wait until your tiny "1st/2nd world" bubble will burst.
There are many families who have a better life in Dubai (UAE) compared to life in their home country (i.e. education, income, healthcare). So not so easy to look for " happiness" somewhere else... a bit shortsighted from your side but hey...that's what living in Dubai does to most people. Doesnt mean they like the place.
It is a 3rd world place.
Most people from 1st world countries who come here are a special kind. Mercenaries who want to achieve their personal goals at any cost (ego stuff i.e.money, left seat, higher social status etc ). They tend to love Dubai.
Just stay in your bubble. Halas.

It’s really quite simple.
As an expat, you are a ‘tolerated guest’ in another country. If you choose to work in Dubai or any other expat location for that matter, you must play by their rules or not go at all. You can’t willingly sign up for something and then abuse the contract for it being exactly what you signed up for. If you do insufficient due diligence, then that is down to you.
Either, come to your expat location to work, and make it work for you as much as you can, or don’t come at all. If you come, know what the rules are and play by them.
I have been an expat for 27 years now and that has been the consistent feedback from every expat I know that has made a success of expatriate life.
I worked for Emirates for 8 years and lived a fairly quiet life with my family, enjoyed most of my flying, and saved more money in 8 years than I probably would have in most of a full career in my home country.
If you are not sure that an expat lifestyle is for you and your family, then it isn’t.

A chap I know walked out on the EK bond, this was pre biometric days.
When an opportunity arose that involved quite a bit of ME transit including DXB, he merely legally changed his name (took the wife's maiden name I think) and happily strolled in and out of the UAE when he needed too.
He's still doing it to this day I believe.
in regards to being an expat, do your job, make your money, keep your gob shut and leave when the money or sh1t bucket is filled.

Hey everyone,
I have offer from both companies and I was thinking what happens If I go there and for some reason like my wife does not want to stay anymore or I do not like it anymore etc I quite the job and I don't pay the crazy ammount that I will sign with the contract(bond)?
If I return back to my home in Europe and get an other job can I face legal actions against me in Europe?
Obviously I have to forget going there for vacation after
Do not get me wrong, its not like I am not proffesional but I want to feel like I am not "forced" to stay there if I do not like it.
I would try to pay the bond but what if i cannot?
Anyone went to any of those companies recently and left before the bond was finished?
Regards
Fras
