Greetings,

Three basic questions:

How long does it typically take to get a job offer?

What is the normal "lag time" between the offer and the start of the job?

What are the normal accommodations like?

Thanks for any and all replies!

Now your question is the one million dollar question every newbie would like to know. But unfortunately no one, as in no one has the answer. This is because  finding a job itself in Dubai is a great challenge to far off answer the question How long does it typically take to get a job offer?

i will make my answer short, as someone might come to throw  in more light or be more detailed. Finding a job and time frame of getting an offer or starting the job all depends on you the individual. Your experience, field of work, gender and most times nationality will help you detain that. There are other many factors to consider too. But that is the general. once you are in the country and searching you luck is much greater.

What are the normal accommodations like?
As for accomodation. That one will also depend on your job tile, company and salary. But most do make use of the shared accomodation so as to save some good amount of money.


In all, everything is dependable in Dubai. You never know till you get there.

Good luck!
