Hi guys,

Hope you're well!

My boss is looking for a driver to drive him around since work is getting hectic and he'd rather sit and finish work on the move than spend time driving around. He drives a SUV that he takes care of meticulously and would like the driver to also be on the same page with that. Work timing would be 9am- 6pm.

If you know anyone or are interested, please DM your cv/ profile for the same.

Also, just FYI, I would be passing them to my finance head and he'd be the one getting in touch with you for it if you do get shortlisted.

Hi everyone,

I wanted to share a recent experience our team had with Adobe as a cautionary for any businesses or freelancers whose livelihoods depend on uninterrupted access to Creative Cloud.

Today, our company's Creative Cloud Pro subscription was abruptly canceled for the second time in 8 days. The reason given by Adobe was "Fraudulent activity detected on your Adobe Account," despite the fact that we purchased this legally using our official company email and a legitimate corporate card.

The last cancellation happened just a few hours ago (Order Number: AE05600400025CAE). When I reached out to Adobe Customer Care to resolve what is clearly a false positive in their automated detection system, the response was incredibly disappointing:

• No temporary access: They refused to grant temporary or provisional access for even 2 days so we could finish our current client work, despite us offering to provide any verification data needed.
• No immediate answers: The agent informed us that the account is under investigation, and we will have to wait 3 to 4 business days for an email update.
• The "solution": The only workaround offered by support was to create an entirely new email address and purchase a brand-new subscription. For a business, constantly migrating accounts and risking the same card triggering another automatic ban isn't a viable solution.

This unexpected downtime is pushing back our entire business campaign schedule and costing us money.

If your business relies heavily on a single ecosystem, please let this be a reminder to have a backup plan. We are currently looking into migrating our workflows over to DaVinci Resolve and other alternatives, as we simply cannot afford to have our tools locked behind an automated system with a multi-day resolution turnaround.

Has anyone else encountered this specific "fraudulent activity" error on a legitimate business account? If so, were you able to get it resolved sooner?

Hey everyone,

​I’m the founder of DoorKee.co, an early-stage, end-to-end transactional PropTech rental marketplace based in Dubai.

​We are not a basic listing board or an anti-broker site. We are an ecosystem play. Anyone can list on our site (landlords, brokers, property management companies), but the entire transaction lifecycle—from the initial search, viewing setups, and digital leasing to post-move utility bill tracking and payment management—stays entirely inline on our web application.

​📍 Where We Are At

​We are currently in a web-only validation phase to prove product-market fit before building native apps. Our absolute focus is driving high-intent web traffic and converting users directly on our web application.

​Because we are a new domain competing against massive legacy portals (Bayut, Property Finder), a generic blogging/content strategy will not work. We need a structural, product-led, and programmatic SEO strategy.

​🛠️ What We Need Help With:

​Faceted Navigation & Indexation Control: Setting up bulletproof URL parameters and indexation rules for our multi-filter search system (Beds, Baths, Budget, Sub-locations) to maximize crawl budget and prevent infinite loops.

​Web App State Management: Making sure dynamic user states (bidding funnels, user dashboards, payment screens) are strictly isolated (noindex/canonical) while public programmatic listing templates index flawlessly.

​E-E-A-T & Trust Optimization: Enhancing on-page optimization for Google's E-E-A-T signals to support safe web transactions and compliance mapping.

​Dynamic Schema Deployment: Implementing automated structured data (RealEstateListing, Product, ItemList) across scalable local community hubs.

​Inventory Lifecycle Protocol: Building a clean system to handle expired/rented listings so we preserve historical search equity instead of throwing 404s.

​👤 Who You Are:

​You are an engineer-minded SEO professional. You think in databases, site architecture, and web user flows—not just keyword stuffing.

​You have verifiable experience working with marketplaces, directory structures, large-scale e-commerce, or SaaS platforms.

​Your daily toolstack includes Screaming Frog, Ahrefs, or SEMrush.

​💰 Budget & Engagement:

​This will start as a monthly retainer. We are looking for an expert freelancer who can own the strategy and technical execution blueprint.

​How to Apply: Please DM me with a brief summary of your experience with complex web applications or marketplaces, your current toolstack, and your ballpark monthly retainer expectations in AED or USD. (Please skip the generic agency copy-paste pitches; I want to talk to the person actually doing the work).

I am looking for experienced UI/UX designer for my app. Please if you are experienced dm me. I am not looking for mid-level designers. Only experienced ones please. If we deal we can turn to full-time.

Dm is always open, thank you

Hi, I’m Andy.

A few years ago, I was completely out of shape.

I’d gone from a really active lifestyle in London — football, athletics, always training — to feeling exhausted, injured, overweight, and honestly a bit lost with fitness.

Teaching full-time, moving countries, multiple knee surgeries, stress, long work days… life happened.

Then COVID hit, and that was the turning point.

Instead of trying another extreme fitness plan, I focused on simply rebuilding myself step by step. Small runs. Basic strength work. Consistency over perfection.

At first it was tough. I could barely run without feeling broken afterwards.

But over time, things changed.

Since then, I’ve:

Competed in triathlons

Completed HYROX events

Run my first marathon

Built strength and fitness I honestly didn’t think I’d get back in my 30s

What surprised me most was how much my background as a teacher helped.

As a teacher, you spend years helping people who lack confidence, feel overwhelmed, struggle with consistency, or believe they’re “not good” at something. You learn how to break difficult things into manageable steps and help people believe in themselves again.

When I rebuilt my own fitness, it felt like I was going through that same process personally.

That’s why becoming a personal trainer felt like such a natural transition. I’m not just coaching workouts — I’m helping adults overcome something I had to overcome myself: starting again.

Now I’m a qualified personal trainer based in Dubai, helping busy professionals get back into shape without fitness taking over their lives.

Most of the people I work with are:

Busy professionals with demanding schedules

Parents or people returning to fitness after years away

Complete beginners in the gym

People dealing with injuries, low energy, or weight gain

Burnt out from “all or nothing” fitness approaches

No six-day bodybuilding splits.

No living off chicken and broccoli.

No pretending motivation is always there.

Just sustainable training that fits around real life.

I’ve helped dozens of people rebuild from zero and become stronger, fitter, and more confident than they were in their 20s.

If you’re trying to start again with fitness, ask me anything.

Training advice, beginner workouts, rebuilding after injury, staying consistent when life is chaos — happy to help.

Hi everyone,

I’ve been actively job hunting in Dubai for the past 3 months but haven’t had much luck so far, so I’m reaching out here in case anyone can help or point me in the right direction.

I have 2 years of experience in Dubai working as an Admin Assistant cum Sales Associate. My responsibilities included handling office administration, coordinating with clients, managing documents, supporting sales operations, and ensuring smooth day-to-day workflow.

At this point, I’m open to any office-based role—administration, clerical work, sales support, or similar—as long as it’s based in Dubai. I’m hardworking, adaptable, and ready to start immediately.

If you know of any openings, referrals, or companies currently hiring, I would really appreciate your help. Thank you so much in advance!

I bring 6 years of HR experience, zero tolerance for errors, and the emotional resilience of someone who has survived both annual appraisals and visa processing season.

I can onboard employees, calm managers, fix HRMS chaos, and still smile through a 47-email thread titled ‘Quick Question.’

Currently unemployed.
Actively applying.
Mildly funny.
Highly dependable.

If your company needs someone who can handle people, pressure, and probably your outdated SOPs too!
my DMs are open.

I work as a junior in a consulting firm in Dubai for 2 1/2 years. I had to leave my job in September because it was toxic and it was affecting my mental health and I moved back to India. However, my heart lies in Dubai and I would love to return there, but I haven’t been getting any good opportunities and I’m confused what to do should I start applying in India and work here or should I continue trying for Dubai? I’m just so confused because everybody is telling me to work in India.

I recently got a job with one of the companies in UAE. While the offer is a little low ball , I am willing to accept it given the current economic impacts due to war situation in middle east

There is an important line in my offer letter which states that if i leave the company during my probation period(6 months) to accept a second offer in UAE, the new employer needs to pay the recruitment costs to my old employer.

I just wanted to check how much of this is followed, and what are these recruitment costs ( is it the visa costs only?) and whether new employer generally accepts this condition or it could be a road blocker moving forward ?

My bosses didn't pay me 4 months of work and then fired me. I have to leave UAE, I went to many places of law but if you have your own visa they can't do anything. I want to put their phone numbers on pages and have them call you just to waste time, which pages can I use? Would I have a problem if I do that? I was lucky to get some money and leave before it got worse, i suffered a lot of anxiety and depression , I was eating only once a day just to have some money for rent; I was doing miracles with money, student visa is not for working I know now. I just wanna make silly pranks to these bad people

Hi All,

I’m currently working in Dubai as an accountant, and my visa was issued in 2022 based on an attested bachelor’s degree. Now, could you tell me whether I only need the attested degree for a new employment visa, or if I also need an equivalency certificate now?

​

Hi everyone,

I’m from India with 4+ years of experience in marketing communications, social media strategy, content marketing, and digital campaigns. I’ve also recently started upskilling more into performance marketing (Meta Ads, Google Ads, etc.) and am actively exploring opportunities in Dubai/UAE.

Lately I’ve been seriously considering taking a visit visa and coming to Dubai for direct job hunting and networking, especially because I keep hearing mixed opinions online.

Some people say:

- being physically present in UAE increases chances significantly

- recruiters prefer local candidates

- interviews move faster when you're already there

But at the same time, I also hear:

- the market is heavily saturated right now

- many jobs offer lower salaries than expected

- some companies keep posting openings without actively hiring

- visit visa job hunting can become financially draining if things don’t work out quickly

So I wanted genuine advice from people already working in Dubai/UAE, especially in:

- Digital Marketing

- Social Media

- Performance Marketing

- Media/Advertising agencies

A few questions:

1. Is the UAE market currently worth exploring for someone with my background?

2. Does being physically present in Dubai actually improve chances?

3. What salary range is realistically offered nowadays for digital marketing/social media roles?

4. Are agencies better to target than in-house roles initially?

5. How difficult is it to switch from content/social media into performance marketing in UAE?

Would really appreciate honest insights — both positive and negative. Just trying to understand the ground reality before making a decision.

Thanks in advance 🙂

Can someone stand in line and purchase watches for me this Saturday at Dubai mall and Emirates mall - will pay you 500 aed for your time. + if you bring friends or family members will pay you an additional 200 aed per person.

Edit / clarification:

Got a lot of replies, so I’m doing this two ways:

1. Team setup:
   If someone can organize a small group and go to both Swatch locations, the original offer applies: AED 500 for the team lead + AED 200 per extra person.

Each person must go to both stores and purchase 1 watch from Dubai Mall and 1 watch from Mall of the Emirates. Since the store rule is usually 1 watch per person, per store, that means 2 watches total per person.

2. Solo setup:
   If you’re going alone, I’m open to paying per watch successfully purchased.

Locations:
- Swatch Dubai Mall
- Swatch Mall of the Emirates

The Swatch stores open at 10:00am, but this will likely be busy, so you need to line up around 5:00am–6:00am. I suggest going as early as the mall allows people inside.

I am not asking anyone to pay for the watches out of pocket. I will cover the watch cost at the time of purchase.

Requirements:
- Photo/video before purchase so I can confirm the correct color
- Receipt after purchase
- Handover in person
- Only the specific colors I confirm

No upfront service payment. Payment for your help is only after successful purchase and handover with receipt.

If no watch is purchased, there is no service payment.

There will also be an additional bonus if more watches are purchased, especially if they are the specific colors I’m looking for.
