Moving to Al Ain from Canada
Hello everyone,
My husband recently got a job offer in UAE University as a professor and we are contemplating a move from here Canada with our 2 young ( 1year old ) daughters. The offer is good for him with accomodations in Al Ain, paid holidays and the package
However, I am a senior business analyst currently employed in a multinational company here and am anxious about this move especially since I would also want to advance my career. I have done an MBA in Organizational Effectiveness and Change management, would hate to see that not being utilized.
Are there any opportunities in Al Ain for someone like me ? We are also considering a commute for myself after hiring a driver if a job can be found in Dubai or Abu Dhabi.
We have no idea where to start any suggestions about :
1. reliable recruiters
Thank you

Personally I would say that Dubai and Abu Dhabi are not easily commutable, although the road has recently been improved. Why not work from home? Actually, despite what some might say, I think that Al Ain is one of the nicest places in the UAE to live. Very green and also near the Omani border.

Re: Moving to Al Ain from Canada
There are plenty of management consultancies in Dubai (fewer in Abu Dhabi) who you might fit with. But the commute would be a serious pain (it's bad enough doing the Abu Dhabi-Dubai commute).
