Is it too early to look for a new job

What you just described is a typical problem for most in dubai now. Finding the right company where you did work and enjoy what you do is something that is indeed hard to find. But on the other hand they are individuals also walking around dubai looking hard to have a opportunity like yours. The irony of life huh.

The advise i did give to you is, keep looking for other opportunities that you see fit to you in other companies. I don't know what is written in your contract but if you do find a job at a company operating in the freezone then you will not have any problem leaving your company now. However, right after the completion of your one year and you do find a different job, all you have to do is give your company a one month notice of your resignation and i think that would be it.

Aside all that know that it is challenging in finding a job in dubai, so make sure you have another job to go to before making any decisions. And keep on applying on the many job sites and looking through various companies websites for vacants.

life can be hard in dubai if you are in a job that does not give room for growth, but don't give up, keep doing what you are doing now and slowly you did enter into a company that you did love. Remember the more experience- in this case (time spent in one company) increases your chance in getting to another company.

Thanks for the advise. Appreciate that!!
