Anyone looking to move to Dubai from UK in 2008?
 
Hi there, Im planning on leaving the Uk and relocate to Dubai at some point in 2008, I have just started getting some initial interviews with Dubai employers. I am 25, single and am going to be going on my own which is starting to feel a little daunting, so if you are in a similar position then reply and we can talk about it...

thanks

James

Hi James - Yes I'm hopefully going this year. I'm 35 with 2 kids and a long term partner so not ideal. However I will probably go on my own. I'm in the Architecture field.

Cheers,

My partner dose not read BE but is aware of my dreams. She wants the best for me whatever that is......Is that all that counts in this brief life of ours?

Apologies if I'm coming across as a sad white english bloke but all this thinking of a new life is making my heart rate rise. I will tone it down from now on! Don't quote me in the future though I may change my mind.

I went there with 2 pals last November, we didn't have a clue what it was, a friend of mine who runs the Left Bank said we would enjoy it & he would join us later so i didn't think anything of it.......OH MY GOD, did he turn up...........what do you think ? NO he didn't !! My friend had a real good time, i had a laugh but not for me.
