How are people coping up with anxiety? Not just of now. I’m anxious about what will happen to our careers altogether in this region- it is sort of exposed that the whole region was built on house of cards… of Netanyahu keeps pursuing his far right agenda of building greater Israel- I don’t see peace coming to the region near time. UAE hopefully is not a claimed territory but it will still be affected by Israels expansionist policies.

UAE has officially bent over for israel 6 years ago. It'll be fine....

likesmartfunny

their biblical land keeps changing everyday though.

My friend, if you are worried about that, simply start applying to jobs elsewhere. The crazy Dubai salaries and benefits come with a risk just like everything else. You don't need to be anxious because the world is big and there are other countries where you can do consulting and other industries too. Now you know the full risk, make a decision and own it.

Dubai is very resilient... It has endured many crisis... I know you feel doom and gloom but things will improve.... We may have to sit down quite for few months, but in the long term we will be all right

We all love dubai and hope it, and the rest of the region, comes out unscathed by all of this. But what the hell are you on!!! what may crises, its younger than my father !!
