Anyone have experience finding graphic design jobs in Dubai?
Or general info on the living vibe there?

I love dubai. There are a lot of expats there - a lot...but it is still a muslim country and as Western as it seems you've still gotta watch you don't offend the locals.
Any half-decent designer could make a killing working there for a few years.
I think there's a guy on here that works there...I remember him linking up a dubai jobs list and it looked like there was a LOT of work out there.

it's run by a Canadian group too. Which I'm sure has much connexion over there.
On a persoanl level, I came very close to moving over there, before f*cking morons started kidnapping everyone in sight, but I would think it's still very safe.

There are 10 days of public holidays (paid) in any year. The employee's annual leave is two days for every month if his service is more than six months and less than a year. In every completed year of service after the first, an employee is entitled to 30 days annual paid leave. This is in addition to public holidays, maternity leave for women and sick leave.
That's how it should fucking be! None of this '2 weeks annual leave' bullcrap

the rich arab nations can't live without their slaves. wait until the revolt, buncha filipina maids are going to beat them to death with toilet brushes.

Thanks for the link.
I'm starting to want to get away for a bit and want to explore the options.

i understood that you are not allowed to leave the "expat" area of dubai and fraternize with the locals.
maybe it was just a rumour, but when i looked into it i heard it was something short of slave labor with tax free pay... can anyone confirm?
- JazX0
I think you pay a one-time fee, but believe me, they'll pay you nearly twice as much as what you make here. It's a rich land
- version30
slave labor?
naw that just saves on your personal spending
no need to go outside with work to do for 6-12 months straight anyway
- ivan_cook0
for that job site, you have to pay to apply for jobs? Am I seeing that right?

Hmm... this is very interesting, anyone have any idea of what the average salary for say an AD would be there?
