Hi everyone,

I am a Legal Operations and Compliance Professional based in Dubai, actively seeking career progression into an Operations Management or senior compliance role. I have over nine years of overall professional experience, with over five years specifically dedicated to AML/KYC compliance, legal, operations, corporate governance, and due diligence.

Here is a quick snapshot of my background:

• Regional Top Law Firm Experience: I currently work for the top law firm in the region, serving as the central operational gatekeeper across multiple high-volume legal departments. I direct case allocation, manage contract pipelines, and coordinate communications between internal teams and high-profile clients. My focus is on driving operational efficiency by ensuring strict system compliance across departments.
• Compliance Credentials: I hold an ICA Certification in KYC and Customer Due Diligence, which grounds my approach to complex regulatory frameworks.
• Corporate Legal Coordination: Previously, as a Legal Coordinator and Deputy Compliance Officer for a major regional enterprise, I directed legal administration and logistics across the UAE, KSA, Qatar, Oman, and Egypt. I produced executive-level reporting for the CEO and Head of Legal, acting as a bridge between the legal department and business units to track risks, resolve operational bottlenecks, and enforce KYC procedures.
• Financial Compliance & Operations Leadership: Earlier in my career, I served as a Branch In-Charge and Compliance Officer at a reuptable exchange house. In this capacity, I held direct leadership responsibility, managing branch workflows, implementing comprehensive AML/KYC programs, and training staff on compliance standards and operational activities. I am highly proficient with compliance risk platforms, including WorldCheck and the goAML Portal.

My core strengths lie in process improvement, cross-departmental leadership, stakeholder communication, and organizational adaptability. I am looking for a challenging environment where I can leverage this background to streamline operations and take the next step forward in my career.

The job hunt is brutal to the point where 2.5 years later I still can't seem to land an offer LOL

If anyone knows of relevant openings or is open to a quick networking chat, please feel free to send a DM! I’d be happy to share my redacted CV for a closer look.

Thank you in advance for your time, and best of luck to everyone else on the job hunt.

I messed up badly. I lost control of my temper during an argument and had a severe verbal outburst. It got to the point where my partner told me my actions made her feel "scared" and uncomfortable.

​She rightfully put up a boundary and asked for distance so we could both cool down and work on ourselves. Instead of respecting that, my anxiety completely took over. I panicked about losing her, couldn't handle the silence, and flooded her with a massive, emotional wall of text trying to "fix" it and prove my love.

​She left me on read. She is strictly enforcing the distance now, and the board is locked.

​I know I am the problem here. I know my inability to handle my own anxiety is pushing her away. I cannot afford therapy right now, so I’m turning to you guys.

​My brain is screaming at me that her silence means it's permanently over, and I have this overwhelming urge to text her again just to get a response, even though I know it will destroy the relationship.

​How do I physically stop myself from checking her online status?

​What are actual, practical ways to self-soothe when you feel like your relationship is slipping away and you’re the one who caused it?

​How do I accept that this "coldness" is just her protecting herself, and not a punishment?

​Any harsh truths or practical anxiety tips are welcome. I need to get my head straight so I can actually be the partner she deserves when she’s ready to talk.

​TL;DR: Scared my girlfriend with an angry outburst. She asked for space, I suffocated her with texts out of panic. Now she's totally silent. Need practical advice on how to self-regulate my anxiety and respect her boundary without losing my mind.
