Hi. I’ve been I’m working in the UAE for 12 years now. Any reputable company in the UAE that hires expat will provide you a residence visa. One cannot work here legally without it. Your offer should come with at least visa, end-of-service benefit, annual return flight home and health insurance. Better packages add education, bonuses, housing allowance and other perks. You can change companies anytime but you can only have one visa at a time. Good luck with getting the offer you want. 👍

One might ask why you signed an offer from company A if you want to work for company B? Anyway companies in the UAE are used to sorting visas for expats. Many have dedicated staff to do this. Don’t worry about them. Contracts usually have a probation time limit where either party can terminate without cause or notification. Don’t worry about visa bans. That’s typically for criminals or dodgy people who try to run without paying debt.

I'm currently in a process for senior associate at a Big4. The process began on July, yet between the first and second interview it took like 3-4 weeks. And between the 2nd and 3rd like 7 weeks. I sent an email to HR during those weeks asking for an update and didn't have an answer. Then it a 3rd one was scheduled three times (the manager didn't connect to the first 2) and next week I have the last interview with 1 partner. Is the timing normal? Or were they looking for other candidates or what?

Can anyone let me know how easy it is to apply to a consulting firm in Dubai directly coming from London? I am currently working at a T2 strategy firm in London and my partner and I want to relocate in ~1.5 years. My firm does not have an office in Dubai whilst my partners firm does. Is it possible to apply straight (rather than moving laterally in London, waiting a few years then transferring?) interested in MBB views too. (I would have roughly 2.5 YOE by then)
