Turkiya, that is a ridiculous argument. Stracy is on-the-money. It seems that everything is fine until one gets in trouble in that part of the world. Imagine being prosecuted by the very people whose job is to protect you ! One thing not mentioned so far is that these places will not give you permanent resident status no matter how long you live there. In effect you are a second-class citizen.

If you explain why it is ridiculous, may be I would understand. On the other hand, the rape victim is a Saudi women, penalized by Saudi legal system. What on earth can you deduct from this incident that can relate to the working environment or finance profession in UAE? (Do you know that UAE and Kingdom of Saudi Arabia are two different states? Right?) If this is what you are pointing at, then that is ridiculous. Permanent residency is not an automatic right granted to foreigners. Conditions change from one country to another. Generally, after a certain period of legal residency and work in a country, foreigners can get permanent residency right and eventually nationality of the host country. In GCC, modern immigration laws are not in force and the concept does not apply. However, especially in UAE, ownership of property will entail residency right. For work permit (on your own) you should get foreign investor status. Naturalization is laso possible, however required residency period is generally longer than the one that applies in the western world.
Dubai is a growing economy with higher per capita income. A change from engineering sector to financial sector can be a difficult task to handle if you are not familiar with the financial operations of the company. Though there are many universities which offer master in finance which can be pursued by any graduate without an exposure to the financial sector and still gain knowledge on finance.
