Hi everyone,

Heading to Dubai this December (first time!) and will be there for New Year’s Eve it also happens to be my mom’s birthday around that time.

Any tips on when I should start booking stuff like restaurants or beach clubs? Also curious what’s actually worth doing for NYE in Dubai vs. what’s just hype. Would love recs for good spots to celebrate with her like dinners, rooftops, or even just cool places to watch the fireworks.

Appreciate any advice from folks who’ve done it before 🙏

If you want to book restaurants or rooms/suites with direct view of fireworks I would suggest to start booking asap. There will still be availability but the room rate will increase exponentially; for restaurants will be easier as the price of the NYE dinner will not change (but still book 6-8wks in advance just in case if you want a specific venue). There are fireworks in multiple places, incl Burj Khalifa, Jumeirah, The Palm. Probably the most scenographic are the BK ones. If you stay for a week and you don’t mind changing, I would suggest to split the trip into 2 hotels in totally different areas of the city.
Most time I go there I spend 3-4 nights either in Jumeirah beach area or The Palm and then 3-4 nights at The Park Hyatt Dubai, that IMO is one of the best resorts ever (facilities, service, pools, food, Hyatt program recognition, etc). You can use it as a base to see Dubai Creek, “Old” Dubai, Gold Frame, etc

The view is more or less the same, it really depends which table you manage to get. Just make sure the dinner allows u to stay until after midnight

Start booking NOW. I've been there before and they get booked fast and depending on where your trying to go it is hard if you don't book months in advance.

Hi everyone...

My role was impacted as part of the layoffs in my last Org.. bitter truth to digest. So I am looking for a new role and I would appreciate your help and support.

Can anyone share Hyderabad or Remote based PM/ Sr. PM jobs.

Have a big interview tomorrow. The question I dread the most is about why you’re looking for a new job. The honest answer is that there isn’t enough work to go around at my agency and I want to get ahead of the inevitable layoffs. What’s the best way to tell them this? Do I just make something else up entirely?
