[Personal experience] What to do for an IT engineer in the UAE: they pay well, but prices bite and you won't stay forever

Europe and the  United States  are very understandable countries to move to. We know a lot about them, if not from the stories of expats, then at least from films, TV series and books. But the UAE is a different kind of country. There seems to be IT, and Russian developers are often hired there, but what is happening inside is not clear. How does the work work there? What projects? What about the prices? What about religion - does it interfere with living? Can you make good money there?







We talked with Alexander, who moved to the Emirates in 2010 and left back to Russia in 2017. He managed to work on several projects, he and his wife had a child here, and he will tell you how it is generally life in the UAE and whether it is worth going here IT -engineer.
