These dream sequences are so lame and predictable. Ekta doesnt have the guts to fix this track as personally also its clear her mindset runs on toxic disturbance in families, she feels even the new viewerbase of 2026 would enjoy this or find entertainment in it but someone needs to give her a reality check. The spin off is a cringefest.

I have tried all permutations possible and come to a conclusion that all job application processes in UAE are just a whitewash to run referral focussed recruitments in companies.

Your trustworthy network is your only hope to get you a role here. No amount of job applications would bring any return on the time investment you are doing on making your resume ATS friendly, applying in the first 10 mins etc etc.

All these HR influencers keep stressing on networking on Linkedin and reaching out to decision makers etc etc. All fuggazi.. At the risk of sounding sexist, linkedin cold messaging, inmails etc only work for females. Guys do not even entertain other guys and females anyways do not entertain to other guys.

Your only best bet is your actual friend, relative working in some company and he or she can get you in touch with the key decision maker or the HR who can jack up your profile. Rest do not waste your time and money on ATS proofing your resumes.

My piece of advice and best options in this job market:
\\- Look for roles in your home countries for your peace of mind. Live your life. Living in the present is better than crying over something you are imagining to achieve or seeing someone else live.
\\- Look for remote roles and work in your home location. Remote jobs are growing by the day and it is good for saving a lot of money.
\\- If you work for an MNC or a consulting/service or product based firm then spend min 18 months there and look for global relocation from your own company
\\- Within your own company build a solid network with Senior Managers and above across your desired markets and do some gigs for them, let them know you first hand and have a memory of your good work
\\- Actually assess the UAE job market patiently and do a gap analysis of your profile and what the region really wants. If you sense any skill gap then certify, likewise if there is YOE gap then gain some experience and then apply after some time
\\- Start exploring other emerging and strong markets like Qatar, SA, Egypt, Southeast asia, east Europe etc. I recently saw only 10 applicants for my profile opened 2 weeks back in Europe against which there were 1000s in Abu Dhabi. Crazy!
\\- If you are waiting (just like me) then keep working wherever you are and come back stronger in some time.

Happy to hear your thoughts! Hope this helps at least a few folks.

Please can someone indicate the band for this? Bit critical as I need to close on the offer.

Apne bhagaya hai apne bhagaya hai apne bhagaya hai .. ha bc bhagaya hai iya ukhaad lega tu … i can bet all the viewers are getting their blood pressures high watching this rage bait crap by Ekta.

Every time I changed jobs during the last FY, each employer deducted TDS based only on the salary they paid me. Since they did not account for my total annual income from previous employers in that year, the TDS deducted by them was calculated at a lower effective tax rate. Disgruntled and really frustrated as to why did I even switch, all what I was able to save after so much movement ended up getting spent like this..! Absolutely hate the taxations and how inflexible this system is to accommodate in these scenarios. The penalties are sky high just in case you choose to be a defaulter. Does anyone know to ensure this doesnt get repeated in future as the Payables team of any company seems to calculate tds in this same manner and ultimately create problem for the employee at the end of the year.

TLDR; Career / Life advice focussed for a lost 35 yrs man.

Professional overview:
10+ yoe in management consulting, transformation role. Worked extensively in service based now with an FMCG for their internal transformation role but post 3 years no certainty of the role, probably the org would support they say but who knows in this economy. Salary wise very good, maybe touching the roof for my role.

The issue
I cannot take transformation / project focused roles anymore. Am drained mentally and physically and just cant work in this pressure, demanding environment. I would burnout anyday. But the money I need is in this domain only, atleast with the formal skillsets I have.

Sounds too privileged so Why deprived?
No house mine or family. Everything got sold off years back and people depend on me.. rents, loans all liabilities I cover. I wish atleast one thing made sense but here I am out of sorts.

Apprehensions:
All aside, i just want to get into a non-project based role, minding my own damn thing and not running dry on timelines. I always wanted to be in hospitality, damn small scale work something mine and mot impacting ‘stakeholders’, but giving good experiences to people I engage with, now its beyond late. Is this a wishful thinking in this day and age? Because if I discount on my profession my household would suffer very very badly as it all stands in the two legs I have built with my career and we are pc to pc.

Would I be selfish to make this move towards my family as I am the sole breadwinner? I dont even care about ctc benefits etc, in this country nothing matters anymore unless u are able to save the money. A person earning 100X can be richer than a financially overburdened guy earning 800X.

Anyone in similar or this boat, how are you approaching life? Am done servicing the balance sheets of the west and making some tech work 20% more efficiently than a human at the price of my mental and physical health. Maybe I am just ranting and going nowhere with this. Maybe someone will understand what I am saying.. but this life is not meant to be wasted like this. I try to be very optimistic, religious person but everything is crippling down and I just cant function.

If you dont have any advise specifically for me or find this too rubbish or mainstream, just say anything to make me feel a bit balanced , as I cant talk about this with literally anyone and i want to hear it will get fine from atleast someone
