Hi, I'm an electrical engineer, working in qatar since 3 months now in an electrical company. I've a vaild Engineers QID issued on my name. And, previously I have worked in India for 1.6 years.
Few months ago, my HR asked me to start my UPDA process. I had my Degree and Transcript already attested from Qatar Embassy in India when I arrived here.

So, after that text, I started my journey of UPDA here. I applied for Indian PCC, and once it arrived, I MoFA attested all my required documents. And, also applied for Qatar PCC on Metrash.

Now, I texted the same HR again, asking him to give me an employment letter such that I can register myself on UPDA website.

He replied by saying "Due to new company policies, we cannot issue an Employment certificate to you as you've not completed your 6 months". (I have completed 3 months here).

So, my question is/are:

What should I do Now?

Can I still register without the certificate even when I have less than 2 years of experience?

Should I wait for my completion of 6 months probation?

P.s: I talked to a UPDA consultant in qatar, he said that I can apply without the certificate, but, I just want to make sure that I don't get into any issues as a lot of money is spent on it already.

Hi everyone,

My company has offered to help me get my Qatar driving licence. They’ll handle the registration, and the cost will simply be deducted from my salary in monthly installments, which is a great help.

However, I’ve recently heard that getting test/training slots has become very difficult. Some people told me that there are only around 5–7 slots which get accepted for DL per day at some institutes. And, also the waiting time can be quite long. I’m not sure how accurate that is, but it has me a bit concerned.

My company is likely to register me with Dallah Academy, but before I agree, I wanted to ask people who have gone through the process recently:

1. Which driving school would you recommend and why?

2. Is Dallah a good choice, or would you suggest another academy?

3. Are there any tips to increase the chances of getting earlier class or test dates?

4. Is there anything I should do or avoid during registration to make the process smoother?

For context, I already have a valid Indian DL, if that makes any difference.

I'd really appreciate hearing about your recent experiences. Thanks in advance!

I’m a man, and I have a question that’s been on my mind for a while. I’m asking out of genuine curiosity, not to judge anyone or compare myself.

I don’t have much sexual experience myself—I’m still a virgin—but I have been intimate in other ways.

One thing that worries me is that I didn’t last more than about 10 seconds, and it’s made me anxious about how I’d perform during actual sex.

One thing that confuses me is how long men typically last during sex in real life. Porn is obviously unrealistic, but even some leaked or amateur videos seem to show men lasting quite a long time. From your real-life experiences, is that actually common, or is it still not representative of the average?

I also wanted to ask about premature ejaculation. If you’ve been with someone who experienced it:

1. Was it a turn-off for you, or did you see it as something that could be worked on?
2. Did it affect your attraction to your partner?
3. If it improved over time, what helped? Was it communication, practice, medical advice, therapy, exercises, or something else?
4. As a partner, how did you support him, if at all?

And finally, from a woman’s perspective, what advice would you give to someone like me? If a man finishes very quickly because he’s inexperienced or anxious, what would you want him to do? How can he improve his control and become a better partner over time?

I’d really appreciate honest answers based on your personal experiences. I know everyone is different, and I’m not looking for a single “correct” answer—I’m just trying to understand what real-life experiences are like compared with what people often see online.
Thanks in advance.

I was wondering if this sub has people living in or around doha. Would love to connect.

Hi, im 24M living in qatar. Open to meeting new people and make genuine connections.

I'm 24M, currently living and working in qatar. I recently moved here. I'm basically from south asia. I'm looking for a woman who is on her deen, is honest, caring and ready to share the responsibilities of marriage. I would be happy to share further details in dms.

Since Muzz didn't really work out for me. It was too much work. Would it be feasible for me to post a marriage seeking profile on this sub? Especially being a man, i mean women really don't involve first, so would it be worth a try?

As y'all commented to block and don't give him attention, that's exactly what i did. He texted me from his another number, demanding me money. And this time he posted the video in many other dms, even random ones and also commented in viral group pages with that video. I have no idea what to do anymore. I am in shambles and it is very terrifying.

Should i give him the money? But what if he still goes on posting?
And what if i dont give him and he still posts? What should i do?

I was stupid enough to trust this tinder profile who was being extra sweet. She shared her socials. They were new accounts, I should've got the hint but i didn't.
I fell for the scam. They recorded my video with my face in it.
Also, they have screenshot of my friends profiles and they even texted 2-3 that if they knew me. Also, sent the video out once but unsend it when i agreed to pay the 500$.
I haven't paid yet, they have given me 8 hours and i am terrified as hell. I am having the conversation with the blackmailer but I don't know what to do.
He is a guy from Morocco and has some partner in pakistan.
I am terrified, it will ruin my image and my respect.

How to deal with this? What should be my next steps?

I am being blackmailed right now over some screen recordings by a guy who claims to be in Morocco. They send me an account number and it's of Pakistan. However, I feel like it is a group of scammers who are blackmailing people like me and asking them money.
The problem here is that they have got screenshots of my friends and followers accounts from my Instagram and Facebook and they are threatening me with sending them the videos.

Could anyone help me figure out what to do. I am shaking because of fear
