Salary is great for expats. High cost of living but some companies such as ADNOC pay for your accommodation. If you are used to western life it may be a big culture difference

I came from Dubai to Canada . It’s an awesome place for a few years if you make a lot of money! Great for expats

Dubai is good for a short term. I was born and raised there. Still not a citizen and can never be one. You always gotta be dependent on a company or a local Arab to sponsor you. Nothing you own is technically yours. You can be kicked out of the country any time. It’s a very artificial place tbh. Good to go and make money, enjoy no tax, save if possible, and get out

Dubai is great to settle IF you are filthy rich and have a very high income. I still enjoy my short term vacations but I’ll never settle down there. I know more than 500 people who moved from dubai to Canada or Australia

I recently raised my rates after being told I wasn’t charging enough on here. Both of my main clients have already responded saying they either can’t pay me my new rate ($125/hour with 15 years experience) or are interested in “talking further.” So naturally I’m starting to freak out a little bit. I’m still pretty new to freelancing full time. What do I do/say? Do I hold my ground and hope for clients that pay me what I’m worth? Or lower my rates/standards and hope I can make ends meet! Help!
