Around a year ago i got a job in UAE and came here. Since then Ive also sponsored my wife and 8 month old daughter. The job is paying well however the company is single owner who meddles in everything, quite insulting at times, has the typical Arab mentality of "I am your master and you are my slave", and the fact that the job is not one of my liking.
When i left Pakistan i was working for a large group of companies, was on course for fast professional growth, was well respected by my bosses, the salary in comparison was low.
I hate living here, i am not in my comfort zone, i hate going to the malls, to the over expensive safari's and expiditions, they all look so plastic to me, so fake, crammed with zombies with oversized bank accounts roaming around . I miss the warmth of my city and my country every minute of every day, i miss my family and my friends, the places we used to hang out at, the beautiful Islamabad and Murree hills where we used to head to every other month to release our tensions, the people who you could really speak to and share with.
I know if i can complete my contract here i can look for a much better job in UAE. I am still in contact with the management of my previous company in Pakistan and they are offering to rehire me at double salary (Which although will still be a lot less than what i get here when converted to Rupees). I am not bothered by the load shedding, crime, corruption and general state of affairs in Pakistan because no matter how bad, it is home.
Just want to have some thoughts..........
