With the very comforting discussion that WAS taking place, one vainglorious idiot (was that offensive? my pleasure) pops in and does what he does best: blabber.
Though giving comments to this guy's post is a waste of time in the first place, seeing such discriminatory, narrow-minded approach compels me to reply. I'll one by one, comment on some of the nonsense you've written -
"Eating at weekends at the Burj al Arab - Do you think you'll get in?" - Is getting in Burj al Arab some kind of a big deal in your reality? You have here either demonstrated your petty mentality (entering Burj al Arab is some sort of a deal for this guy) or discriminatory mentality (the pathetic idea that only whites go there or something? Surely and sadly you're white).
"Someone who wants to live the high life???? I will assume you are an ethnic person, possibly a Pakistani ( this is apparent from the language of your post) and therefore a Muslim - nightclubs, beaches ???" - That was 'a high life', not 'the high life'. Assuming you know your language, you must have realized how that one word changes the impression of that phrase (which you have inserted all by yourself). I will assume you are an ethnic person. I dont know what in the world you meant by that phrase, every person in this world has some ethnicity. possibly a Pakistani I dont know on what ridiculous observation you have made that judgement, but i've clearly judged from your nonsense that you're a british. ( this is apparent from the language of your post) What is apparent from the language of your post is that you need to get some Learn English classes. and therefore a Muslim - nightclubs, beaches ??? Yes i'm a Muslim, and extremely proud to be one. Where does my religion say not to have fun? If you dont know about it, dont make ridiculous statements of writing nightclubs beaches with three question marks denoting some weird unhealthy excitement to the idea of a muslim going to the beach.
( by the way a salary of 60,000Dhms is over GBP110,000 or USD 220,000 - decide for yourself if that isnt enough to satisfy yourself) The first thing here is i'm not clear-cut of what is the cost of living in Dubai. Everything is relative. Rents in Dubai are comparable to Geneva. 100,000 pounds and 200,000 dollars are the same amount, but they wont buy you the same lifestyle in London and New York City. To know what satisfies me, i need to see the entire picture which also constitutes my personal agenda which you know nothing about. So yes i will decide for myself, thank you for reminding me that.
Will i be responsible for tax in Canada - im not a tax advisor Who asked you what you are? I didnt write that and i dont know whose post you quoted here, but could you be more blunt arrogant?
should i do my MBA at manchester or Cranfield, what do recruiters percieve better - recruiters dont really care becuase they know that education beyond what is necessary is not deemed important to career - experience counts ( but then most non-westerns dont understand that concept) Again i didnt wrote this, but a graduate program is education beyond career importance!? So education till what level do you see important towards career? High School? Doesnt really matter if i graduate from Oxford or Oxford Brooks huh? experience counts No doubt it does, but you cant shrink down qualification to the level of negligibility. ( but then most non-westerns dont understand that concept) Again your display of pathetic discriminatory mentality. I pity you again.
You are generally individuals from 2nd or 3rd world economies of cities. Step on my advice of getting Learning English classes and just cure this curiosity of mine: Who in the world has recruited you?
I would venture to say yu are not White anglosaxon protestant with blond hair, blue eyes etc. Who the hell needs blond hair and blue eyes. I'm proud to be tall, dark, and handsome. Thats where your hometown chicks attract too.
DO YOUR RESEARCH yourself. You all ask questions which others cannot answer for you, and to boot they are very subjective - specific only to your circumstances. Why do you ask others to do your thinking for you? Nobody's being asked to do the thinking here. Its as simple as this: If you live in a certain city, you know the expenses and cost-of-living over there at your fingertips. If you ask me how much a buffet in a 5-star restaurant cost me in your city, i'll tell that to you now and i'll tell you any other cost, i dont need to research on that and thats the mere help people were inquiring about here.
Or ignore me if you think Im wrong Sure thing
... i dont really care Who cares what you care?
Im british, 2 degrees, didnt waste my time doing an MBA, professionally qualified in the profesion in which i recruit, have been recruiting professionals into the gulf region in general for over 15 years, and yes I do know what im talking about. What are you doing over here? Bragging? If you're indeed bragging, i miserably fail to understand upon what are you self-glorifying? That you're british? Who gives a damn. 2 degrees? Doesnt almost everybody does that? MBA? Ha! With over 15 years of experience, you must be someone around 40. By virtue of what are you saying all this to an individual who has the potential to earn over 200k at the age of 25!?
With all due respect, nobody gives a **** if you're a british or whatever. No white is superior over black as no black is superior over white. You have intellectuals everywhere as you have fools (you've demonstrated that yourself). As ashamed as i feel to say this to someone who's probably some 15 years older than me: growup.
Take it easy!!
