0:00 Hey guys welcome back to Madan Run In today's video we are going to discuss about the future of Dubai's job market What new opportunities are coming here Which fields are emerging The advance of AI What new changes are happening here We are sitting exactly under Purge Khalifa And the entire Purge Khalifa does not even come from here because it is so long And that's why I feel we should record somewhere else But yes everything that you need to know about Dubai job market is covered in this video See at the present time 50000 jobs are expected in 2025 That 50000 jobs will not come in Dubai So if we see in comparison to other economies It is very difficult in the US It is stuck in the UK Dubai's market is growing Here year on year economy is also growing at 3.4 So first of all we have to see which are the Which are the fields

0:45 where opportunities are emerging? The first thing is tech. Between 2020 and 2024, there was 30% job growth in cyber security, data analytics and artificial intelligence. The crazy thing in Dubai between 2020 and 2024 is that cyber security alone has seen a growth rate of 30% year-on- year, where the average salary goes up to 40,000 dirhams in cyber security, which means some were around Rs 1 lakh. Second, there is a huge boom in real estate. People from every country in India are buying real estate here. There was a war in Russia, everyone left Russia and Ukraine and came here to buy a house. First, there was a war in Stein, everyone left there and came here to buy a house. Everywhere, there is a problem anywhere. There is a problem between India and Pakistan. People come here to buy a house. So real estate is booming a lot and in this, many people are buying houses

1:31 and selling houses. They are also earning a lot of opportunities. So the second major booming department in the near future is real estate and the third was finance. The whole world tried to ban crypto currency in some way or the other. India tried to impose taxes. What did Dubai say? Dubai said that we will become the base of crypto currency. So the headquarters of all the major cryptocurrency companies came here. As a result, a lot of investment started flowing into Dubai. That is why private equities were set up here. Investment banks were set up here. See, the future is coming to GCC. Where the amount of money Saudi is spending, the amount of money Dubai is spending, all these countries are not spending that much. As a result, a lot of job opportunities are coming here and finance is one more region where a lot of job opportunities came. These are the three niches which have seen a lot of growth in the past and as they say, the past can be a very

2:19 good indicator of the future. So if you are thinking of coming to Dubai, these three niches are tech, finance and Real estate is booming but apart from this what else should you know for coming to Dubai? The most important thing that I expect you to know before coming to Dubai is that you can get a job in Dubai through networking. If you want to come to Dubai and do n't want to do networking, then do n't come because you won't be able to do it, you wo n't get a job. Now if you think that you will go to some website and find a job in Dubai, hardly anyone gets a job on a website, they get it through networking. Now what to do for networking, ask me this. First step, find friends or relatives. Find those people who are already in Dubai. Ask them to give me a reference and bring them to Dubai by any means. What is the first thing I am expecting from you? You should come to Dubai. You will get 100 opportunities here. Your vision will open up. You will see

3:04 different opportunities here. But until you are here, you will not even see these opportunities. So the first thing that you can do is best. Friends, family. Third, let's assume that none of your friends or family is in Dubai. If someone from your school or college or your city is not in Dubai, then reach out to them and try to ask for their help. Here you will have to be a little shameless but you will have to take this help. I myself took it from my father's friend to come to Dubai. So you also take this help from someone to come to Dubai. By coming here, you can change your luck. You can start applying for jobs and from there, a new career path can start for you. But once you come here, there are many business events in Dubai and many people also get jobs from these business events. So once you

3:50 come to Dubai, you get one Arab Health World Future Energy Summit and thousands of such events keep happening. There are 300 official events. That means every day there is one or the other official event. How much networking can you do by going to all those events? You know, a survey was conducted that how can people get first time job opportunities in the job market of Dubai? I am thinking how many percent of people did not even apply for the first time job? You think 10% people, 70% people did not even apply for their first job in Dubai. Those people got jobs because of direct relations. Now you understand the importance. Now there is another thing in this. This number is really highly skewed because it includes a lot of labour class people, but even for professionals it remains the same. If I had to take a guess at 40% or 50%, then

4:35 definitely without even applying. While talking about the job market, there is another confusing state of affairs that on which visa should we come here. Now I can make a detailed video on this if you want, but in short, you can either come on a freelancer visa. If you feel that you want to work on your own, then that second work visa where 70% of the experts come to Dubai. Which one is this? Is this your employer? The employer said that you come here, I will get it from your employer, you have to get it done yourself, there is also a trending tip of this, people also give you employer visa for ₹ lakhs, but many people have been scammed in this, it keeps happening but many are genuine too, so you can check out this also, no one will tell you the ground reality, then next is Golden Visa and Job Seeker Visa, about which I want to make a full video, if people will be excited to know about this thing, otherwise

5:22 a lot of information is available online, now if you are thinking of coming after 2025, then what are the most in demand job skills in Dubai, let me talk about it, it is also becoming a hub of digital marketing, so many digital marketing companies are also being set up here, so if you have SO SMM, all these skills and you are good at them, then there are many job opportunities here, in that too the growth rate of 30% is visible, second Dubai Talking about hospitality and tourism, constant growth is also being seen in it. So, if you are from any field of hospitality management, then there are opportunities here again. Thirdly, logistics and supply chain, in this you get job opportunities like supply chain manager, logistics coordinator, procurement equipment specialist, etc. You should know that Dubai is considered very centrally located because it is situated between the East and

6:07 West, so a lot of marine trade passes through here, so there is a lot of scope in supply chain management. Fourthly, education and training professionals. If you see, all the top universities of the world are coming to Dubai. NYU has come. NYU is such a big university. Since when have IITs been here? So many DPS have come. So many schools and universities are being set up here. American University of Dubai, American University of Sharjah, Canadian University of Dubai. So many universities are being set up here. As a result, there will be a requirement of educators and researchers here. There will be a requirement there and a lot of money is going to come in there. I am telling you that the education city hub that has been built here is going to bring a lot of money. On the fifth there will be renewable energy and sustainable energy. This pattern is visible all across the globe. And if you see

6:53 any pattern anywhere in the globe, Dubai catches on to it. And if you see who is doing the most tech innovation in renewable energy on the front, Dubai is considered among those as well. So a lot of job opportunities are going to come out in that too. Now since you are watching my video, you will not get just general tips. You will also get specific actionable work. So now I am going to tell you that if you want to do networking, then what specific actionable things can you do. First you should know that Meetup is a platform where employers of UAE meet potential candidates. Now no one should tell you this. I am telling you that Meetup is such a platform where local people of Dubai register themselves on this platform. And connect with recent employees sitting in India, you can also register here, so that's the first thing, secondly there is a platform called X I am similar to

7:59 Barat, so here you can first of all get tickets for these events, whichever event is going on online, get tickets for it and attend it online. Now yes, if you can come to Dubai, you can go to that event offline here, you can do offline networking, nothing can beat that. facebooksignup.in [Music] Fifth, there are Slack groups, Dubai startups, UAE tech, all of them have Slack groups where people who are already working in these companies discuss among themselves, if you know how to do networking properly, you can reach out to these people, you can take help from them, but yes again it comes to the brain, the one who has the brain can do it, the one who does

8:46 n't have the brain, it will be difficult for him. If I have to talk about the reasons why you should come to Dubai, the first and major reason is the amount of money you have. Whatever you earn, that much gets credited to your account and I have not got this feeling anywhere else in the world, that means if you are earning even 000, your account gets credited with 000, nothing is deducted, 1000 gets credited to it, it sounds very funny but actually it is very satisfying because in Germany death comes at 49, in India also death comes to a great extent at 34, here second health care is good, everyone knows that, third safety, I have left my bag there in the corner, it does not matter to me for an hour, I can go and roam the whole of Dubai right now, I can come after an hour,

9:32 that bag will be lying there, unless the police finds something in it or else I can keep my i here and test it by keeping it on this car, I am no one is going to even touch it, that is the security and safety because the rules are so strict that if someone tries to impose them, then he is saved, fourth ease of travel, if you have seen my stories instagram2 I came for a total of one day because I had to record that consulting interview with Rosie Yes, I definitely came after seeing if I wanted a job in consulting But I came the same day and am leaving the next day because the tickets are so cheap If I come from India, I will reach London in ₹5000000 That is the benefit of Dubai right in the middle The fifth crazy growth

10:18 opportunity is there for every country Dubai is growing But if you know that Dubai is growing Let me tell you one more thing Now stagnation is going to come in some time because it has already grown a lot After this the next biggest market is going to be Riyadh And I know a lot of people will say Riyadh Everyone used to say the same thing about Dubai earlier If you ask anyone even in Oxford, everyone expects that they get job opportunities in Riyadh Trust me, in Dubai also there is a general consensus that the next biggest opportunity If you are coming to Riyadh, then you should check how fast Google2 is growing and if you have the opportunity to move to Riyadh right now, then go ahead, I will make a dedicated video on this. If you like this video, now if you have made up your mind that you have to come to Dubai for a job, then

11:05 watch this video. I made this video 2 years ago. Everything, every mystery, every thing has been debunked and it tells exactly what you should do to get a job in the city. 2 years ago till date it has been an unbeatable video.
