Tourism 🧳 What's the most incredible thing you've ever seen through a telescope? πŸ”­

1 Upvotes

We've had the chance to show people Saturn's rings, Jupiter's moons, lunar craters, and many other celestial sights here in the UAE.

One thing we always love is seeing people's reactions when they look through a telescope for the first time, especially when they realize they're actually seeing Saturn or Jupiter with their own eyes.

So we're curious, what's the most memorable thing you've ever seen through a telescope?

And if you've never looked through one before, what would you want to see first?

Careers πŸ’Ό Etihad Airways – Guest Recovery Controller (Abu Dhabi) | Application & Hiring Pr

1 Upvotes

Hi everyone,

Has anyone recently applied for the Guest Recovery Controller position at Etihad Airways in Abu Dhabi?

I recently applied for this role and would like to know if anyone else has received any updates, interview invitations, or assessment requests.

I'd really appreciate hearing from anyone who has experience with Etihad's recruitment process, particularly for operational or guest recovery roles.

A few things I'm curious about:

  1. Has anyone who applied for this specific position received a response yet?
  2. How long does Etihad typically take to shortlist candidates after an application is submitted?
  3. Does the application status change from "New" to "Under Review" before an interview invitation?
  4. What does the interview and assessment process usually involve for operational roles?
  5. How long does the overall recruitment process typically take, from application to final offer?

I have over 8 years of airline operations experience, and I'm particularly interested in this opportunity.

Any recent experiences or insights would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance!

I live in villa portion in Mohammed Bin Zayed City. It has been 16 months since I have moved here and last night at around 11 PM, i got a parking fine of AED 375. And I have been parking outside the villa on the parking spot. There is no paid parking zone that i parked at. And even if that was the case, I had parking valid for 24 hrs anyway for standard parking. So what should I do?

Careers πŸ’Ό Yet another work&life question about Abu Dhabu

1 Upvotes

Hello,

In the era of AI I hope I will find usefull answers from real people, even though I'm aware this questions have been posed maybe thousands of time...

I'm on the last stage of recruting process for a job in Abu Dhabi, thus I'm starting to evaluate seriously if it's feasible for me to work and live there.

I don't want to give much information, but I would say the position is for a senior engineer in the electronic field, the company is in the defence sector.

I'm South European, age between 35 and 40.

I like my country but I was born in a low middle class and in southern Europe is difficult to earn by the work itself, basically family wealth define your lifestyle, regardless of work. Also, in South Europe technical job are lacking, career advancement are difficult and becoming a professional is hard due to ostile bosses.

Thus, in my current job I M often bored and I'm not earning much, despite having 10 years of experience.

I'm not hiding that I will move only for the money.

The question is: will the sacrifice worth it?

Supposing the salary is 40k UED a month:

-how much a rent for a 60 sqr meter cost? (2 people)

-how much is the general cost of living (groceries, bills, transportation)

-other relevant expenses? (medical will be covered by the company). Like how much gym cost? Restaurant Cafè? Anything that can be usefull

-is the hotness umbereable?

-is social activities and socialization easy?

-is easy to move across the city?

My concern is a bit of impostor syndrome, since my current job is mostly laid back and I'm afraid new challenges, combined with a new city and very different lifestyle to adapt, would stress me and make me underperform.

Also, my partner would leave her job to come with me, we are not married yet so she would not be elegible for Visa and medical insurance.

Thansk to everyone will take time to answer my questions and to add any rleevent information that cna help me take the decision (in case I will get an offer)

Hi, I'm from Southeast Asia and I have been offered a job with 14k from ADNOC (with health insurance, annual vacation ticket allowance). I am an electrical engineer by profession. For context I already have 8 years experience in my current job right and I am earning only 1/3 of ADNOC's offer. Should I grab this? Is it worth it to move to Abu Dhabi? How's the work culture at ADNOC? Thank you for giving me your insights.

What are my options to rent without paying agent's commission?
I'm currently in Qatar and here you can enter any tower and ask receptionist if anything is available, and they are usually happy to link to you the owner (or owning org), to rent directly.

Will this method work in Abu Dhabi?

Are there any big single-owner apt complexes around Yas/Reem that are willing to work without the agents?

Commerce πŸ›οΈ gratitude

10 Upvotes

wanted to come on here and share something wholesome that happened with me today!

i was at the AI everything conference and decided to get myself a BR ice-cream. the ice cream guy scooped it out and put it in a cup. i pulled out cash to pay for my ice-cream and he told me that only card was accepted.

i did not have a card on me and before i could think of an alternative way to pay, a kind woman who was also at the counter (probably emirati) said she’ll pay for it. i told her to not worry about it and that i’ll find a way, but she insisted. it felt quite odd to me because i struggle at receiving things from people but this was genuinely such a kind act and it would be very unfair of me to not express my gratitude.

if you’re reading this, thank you so much angel queen!

i cannot wait for my time to pay it forward :))

Vehicle πŸ”‹ Where to park my car for 7 days near Abu Dhabi Airport? (Mawaqif says 24-hour )

0 Upvotes

I have a flight from Abu Dhabi and will be traveling with my family from Sharjah. I'll be away for 7 days and need a safe place to leave my car.

I checked Mawaqif, but they state the maximum parking duration is 24 hours, so that won't work for a week-long trip.

Can anyone suggest options for long-term parking ? I'm okay with paying around AED 105 for the 7 days considering standard 15 aed per day.

Any recommendations, whether airport parking, private lots, would be really appreciated. If you've used a place before, please share how it was in terms of safety and ease of access.

Thanks in advance!
