A mate of mine is an expat architect.
pm me and ill have a chat to him

If you can get a job, then I would recommend coming over here.
I have been here 2-3 weeks and i am loving it.
There is tons of stuff to do, you will never be bored. (most people who complain that its boring here are the ones who dont get off there arse to explore, or put themselves out of there way to get involved).

Weather is great, tax free is a bonus as well.
Dubai is also very well located to get flights elsewhere, Goa, maldives etc.
I personally found the Dubai Explorer book very handy. pop down to Waterstones or Borders and grab a copy.

If you can get out b4 the 27the of jan then consider yourself invited to our piss up.

Welcome aboard Mickeyboy.

Architects and Dubai...... hmmmmmmm........ i am surprised that it has taken this long for me to c an architect on this site....... Dubai is the only city in the World with this much construction going on.

Have a look at:
www.emaar.com
www.nakheel.ae
www.dubailand.ae
www.dubaiholding.com
www.jbr.ae

We need as many architects as poss with all the mega projects planned for the Emirate.

Look at the FAQ site for more info...... u cud drop me a PM or email if u have any more specific q's.... i am known as the Dubai Oracle, so I am always happy to share info.

Bob

So wot r u up2 then m8? Enjoying the snow in America? And how r ur pet rats? lol

Bob

Not bad mate, trying to Americanise my CV alla resume...don't help that I don't have a clue if and what the US version of the HSE and NAAIDT are though...any ideas?

As for snow, there's been a bit, but it's not been to bad over here, right by the coast, some parts of the state are covered though. And the rat, yeah, he's good, got a old bag of stale cerial for snack, so he's happy

Face81

I had to go thru that pain at my uni.... they americanised my CV and then it became a resume. lol

No snow here at all...... had rain on my birthday, which was the first time that had happened in 9 yrs! lol

That must be one huge rat if he can polish an entire box of cereal by himself. lol

Bob

Well there's only a 1/4 box of cereal left for him to attack, and he's taking his time, but he's getting there

mikeyboy

Thanks for that Face 81

Am in Ireland currently - economy is booming as is construction activity so no shortage of work here in the meantime - but searching for an expat change of scene - am checking out the sites you supplied - exciting times for dubai's developers it seems. Thanks again.
