On A More Anecdotal Level
Our founder and Director, Carl Thomas, has been helping people find new lives and careers in the UAE for over 20 years. During the last 5 years, he has seen a real surge in interest and an increasing diversity of people looking to make their home in the UAE.
In the past, most decisions made by people to move to the UAE were financial, (salaries were high and the tax rate was zero). During this time, people expected the quality of their lives to be compromised and very different from what they were used to.
More recently, people are choosing to move to the UAE because they expect to significantly improve the quality of their life. The UAE is attracting talented and dynamic people from all over the World; creating a rich and diverse place to live. We see this having a ‘snowball’ effect; people are hearing from friends who have made a good life in the region and are then choosing to consider relocating themselves.
In summary, the UAE has become and continues to develop as an excellent place to live and build your career. In addition to this, salary and benefit packages continue to be exceptional.
