Sophist Posted December 9, 2008 No, I am still in London and it seems I will be spending the better part of winter- it is looking that I will down there in Feb/March. Dubai is becoming expensive walahi; a moderate two bed apartment in the Marina will set you back $60k per year. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Baashi Posted December 9, 2008 Do that Xiin. Build your network starting with the folks you work with. Make sure you join your school alumni group and professional societies like ISA or IEEE. It is powerful tool. I do get unsolicited interviews and invitations every other weeks or so. Gotta spend time on it. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
