If they record this job interview as a TV show, it could be the next big hit in Dubai, called “Dubai got talents” 🤔

Dubai International runs on intel...

Any devs from Dubai/UAE here? Was wondering what working there is like

Had to create an App in unstable Phonegap (2012) for all 4 platforms,
for our biggest Dubai based client for a Tech Event, within A WEEK :/

Forget Phonegap, I didn't even know JavaScript back then :|

That was the shittiest App I have ever created, still somehow got an appreciation mail :|

Do you live and work in Dubai? I'm new here and would be nice make dev's friends here.

I know Dubai is a shithole for workers for low-skilled jobs or if you are not rich brown. Can anyone confirm if it is a shithole for software engineers, leaving the tax-free perk?

Last week I did a test for a huge real estate company here in Dubai.

The test they asked to create a database of students and use jquery datatables so far is easy.

But they told you cannot use any framework and uses mvc structure, in other words, build your own framework. It's ok.

But my main concern is, the company is quite famous to not provide proper feedbacks or just forgot about you. And I would be very piss off if after of 3 entires days building my own framework, doing documentation, code comments those guys didn't reply me any feedback.

Job hunting is a flippin' mess for entry level grads in ME. Ngl am considering applying for masters in a different country:/
