I am a Project Management professional that is a US citizen. I am trying to get a job in Dubai from American but can't seem to get much traction. Would it be wise to go there? I am not sure if they are taking my application seriously since I am not physically there.

Do you have a work visa for Dubai? If not, are your skills so unique that they would want to pay thousands of dollars to pay for you to get one and move you there?

OP but are your skills in demand in Dubai? I used to work there and my experience was that the tech market is extremely immature and very competitive as everyone wants to move there. Do your research on your role in the market there and identify companies that sponsor.

Im working at a big multi-product company and we're having 5 dedicated product teams, however, teams are working in silos. Each team's has its own process, design system, technology etc. We identified that most of the teams use and need components that were already conceptualised, designed and developed, for our other products, and we are starting to create a global set of components, a global design system that we will use on all our products. What is your approach?

My criteria: mesh seat and back, arms, headrest

I tried cheap ones from Amazon. Expensive, second hand gaming chairs. Tried HM Aeron (second hand) and while I didn't like the bulk and the general design, I was sold on the mesh seating. I wanted to get the ErgoChair 2 from autonomous, but it doesn't have mesh seat.
