50+ tech companies. Direct contacts. Salary data. Visa guide. Built by a Director of Engineering who's doing the same move.

Every senior engineer researching Dubai hits the same three walls.
Senior roles go through recruiters who take a cut, slow you down, and control the narrative. The best Director and VP roles are filled before they're ever posted.
Glassdoor has 3 reviews. levels.fyi has US data. Nobody is telling you what Dubai actually pays a Director of Engineering in 2026 — including housing allowance and the tax math.
Golden Visa, employment visa, dependants, family health insurance — you need one structured guide, not 50 browser tabs and contradictory forum posts from 2019.
There's a difference between "moving to Dubai" and landing a senior engineering role at a serious tech company in the UAE.
Advice designed for freelancers, remote workers, and people making $60K. None of it is relevant to you.
This is built specifically for that gap.
Employed tech roles only. Not for freelancers, business setup, or remote work visa seekers.
Tech stack, culture notes, hiring status (Active / Selective), and who to contact by job title — not personal data scraped off LinkedIn. Red flags included (e.g., companies with known toxic culture or trial-only contracts).
Role → AED range → USD equivalent → tax comparison → break-even analysis. Based on Levels.fyi UAE, Glassdoor UAE, Cooper Fitch 2026 Salary Guide, and community data.
Criteria, application process, timeline, costs, and family sponsorship — in plain English. Everything you need without paying a PRO sponsor or immigration consultant.
Common email formats by company, LinkedIn search operators, and copy-paste outreach templates written specifically for Director and VP level conversations. Not "dear hiring manager".
Documents, banking setup (you need a UAE account before you arrive), schools research if you have kids, phone setup, housing neighbourhoods by budget. In sequence, nothing missed.
Common questions for senior engineering roles in UAE, cultural nuances specific to Dubai hiring, and salary negotiation scripts for the Gulf market — including how to handle the "current salary" question.
Copy-paste prompts for Claude or ChatGPT: Resume Reviewer (UAE-specific), Interview Prep Coach (company-tailored mock interviews), Outreach Writer, Salary Negotiator, Job Description Analyzer, and LinkedIn Optimizer. Built with UAE market context baked in.
Free list shows names only. Full Navigator has tech stack, contacts, culture notes, and red flags for each.
Includes Noon, talabat, Presight (G42), Property Finder, DarkMatter, Wio Bank, Ziina, Tamara, Kitopi, Microsoft UAE, Amazon AWS MEA, Oracle UAE, Dubizzle, Bayut, Tamam, Pemo, Sarwa, Injazat — and more across Cybersecurity, AI/ML, Fintech, Enterprise, and Startups. Each with tech stack, culture notes, red flags, and who to contact.
Zero income tax. Here's what that means for your number.
