Vantaggi
The best advantage is travelling for free and seeing sooo many amazing countries and experiencing life from a different perspective. Discounted tickets for you and family members. Discounts for food and drink and free gym in Dubai, and sometimes overseas. Free accommodation in Dubai, plus tax free salary. Expenses like water, gas, electricity is paid for, and only internet and phone bills need to be paid. Transport provided. Basically save your whole salary! Meet a lot of people and plan amazing vacations and get to stay free in resorts and 5 start hotels when working and get discounts when travelling as passenger. Lot of nice bars and clubs and nightlife but I became quite bored in the end. Amazing friendships and fond memories for sure.Finally it looks amazing on your CV!
Svantaggi
Dubai gets really boring and tedious after awhile you need to constantly reinvent yourself and find things to do. Company is very strict and the more it gets bigger the more the rules tighten up because it wants to live up to high quality standards. No unions to back you up for your rights. Amazing if you find the love of your life, if not you are doomed to fake relationships with mentally imbalanced people in Dubai. Very easy to play around as it is a transitory place. People stereotype you a lot by nationality and judge you depending on culture. Homesickness and depression is a reality in this job. You will miss important dates, birthdays, weddings of loved ones. Sometimes the swap system makes you do same flights every single month till you get sick of the same flights.
