Glad you came back to Dubai, See ya in Dubai Soon.
& I still remember that long "taxation related" talk we had 1 year back. 😃
Haha we need more collaboration from the two legends in DM field!
Are you coming to Dubai!!? Looking forward to it then!
@@SenatorWeRunAds Planning to come to Dubai. 🙂
@@UmarTazkeerif you are planning to come sir more then happy🎉
So glad to hear that ovais sir is in dubai now and umar sir also planning to come dubai. I follow you 2 legends for a long time. Best wishes. Love from pakistan
The way you explain things in simple way is helpful.
Thanks for sharing your experiences as a digital marketer with us. ❤
Wow, what a journey! It's inspiring to see your introspective decision-making process. Life's all about exploring, adapting, and finding where you truly belong. Cheers to new beginnings!
I recently stumbled upon your channel and within a span of 3-4 days I would have watched almost all of your videos. I have expertise in Marketing & Communication and Head Marketing for an organisation, but your content acted as a refresher that made me redefine some of my digital marketing strategies. The way you explain even the smallest of jargons is commendable. Thank you for setting up this channel. PS, this is the first comment I have posted on TH-cam
Thanks. Means a lot
Your videos have greatly helped my learning journey. It all stated with this video "how I would learn digital marketing (If I could start over)" Thank you so much
Brilliance delivered- very transparent approach in cascading the information.. Sure it’s gonna be very helpful to introspect for those whosoever is planning to make such a move.. Dubai is a home run & you are doing value addition through & through!! All the best 😊
Thank you for this and voicing it 🙏🏻
I really appreciate how you’re willing to restart even at this stage in your life. I’ve been in Dubai for over 2 years now and was in a similar dilemma of wanting to move west. But your video did its bit to reassure me that Dubai is the right place for me. Welcome back, would love to catch up!
I enjoy the content on "your personal experience" and the insights it provides. Please keep it coming!
Glad you're coming back to Dubai, I may move very soon to the UAE, hope to see you there one day!
Wishing you very best of luck Sir. I was eagerly waiting for this video when i saw LinkedIn post about your new appointment i was surprised why you took such a big decision, After watching this video i totally understand plus i also think you have made a right call.
Thank you. It was valuable information.
I appreciate your honesty Sir. My friend who used to live there for around many years faced all these. I know there are both pros and cons living in a country. But living in a country like Germany after living in Dubai is a bit difficult. You have made a great decision for your life especially your mental health and growth.
Yes, it is the same for everyone I guess. thanks
@@SenatorWeRunAds All the very best for your journey ahead Sir. Wish you loads of success and peace at the same time 😄
Bro, even people leaving Canada, for the same purpose and reason. The lifestyle and easiness are much better in the Middle East nowadays. Trust your guts
I really appreciate your decision. It's okay to make changes in your life, and it is totally okay to go back to things if something doesn't work out the way you think. We are the in-charge of our life and we should act like that.
I agree, it's the same situation in the Netherlands and most of the countries in Europe sadly.
I agree
Not Bulgaria tho
Wish you the best in your way back to Dubai. For what I'm hearing from you, Dubai it's home and it's nothing like being in a place you feel so comfortable.
Can you please make a video on how can fresher person who has done courses n few projects get a internship in UAE, also in this video you mentioned about u having a business would like to know about it and how do you manage ur job in business, also congratulations on ur new job at talabat and all d best .....waiting for a day in life of a digital marketer in uae
I'm in Dubai in the same field you are in, and I was looking for opportunities to move to Europe. This video makes me rethink again.
I would love to talk to you about working in Dubai, I want to work there next year, I'm just gathering knowledge now.
Don’t forget Dubai is super expensive now. Only a trading license costs 20,000 Dhs, and yearly. . Quality of life Dubai is zero. No walking no mountains, same fast forward life! I moved from Canada but I surely will return because Canada has people and system that values people. lifestyle and nature is amazing.
I give you about the nature
germany is more
Thank you ❤️
As a European, I totally feel your pain when it comes to taxes. I suppose when you are not from the EU, a lot of these things come as a shock. I wish you all the best in Dubai!
Thanks a lot man! Appreciate it
exactly, It's not about not making a mistake, it's about being open to try.. sometimes the only and the best way to find out what works for you💪🏼
Exactly
I worked in Berlin for 6 months in 2019 and, yes, you have to learn German, if you want to have social interactions and find more jobs, even if a lot of companies are "English-based". But it's shocking, at least for me, I never thought you would go back to Dubai so quickly. Germany is considered one of the best countries, especially if you are Italian (bureaucracy and high taxes at its best)
I lived there for 2 years. But didn't align with my priorities
glad your back to dubai!!
your the main reason im currently working in dubai as a digital marketer.
hope we meet one day insha allah,
Thanks for all the value posted brother. been there since you were at 20k subs
Thanks. Means a lot
Hi sir..How long you've been working there???...... I've completed digital marketing three month course and I've planned to move to Dubai......can you send me your LinkedIn ID??
If you share me your LinkedIn id this means a lot sir.... just because discuss about work culture and demanded skills in dubai
Thanks for your video. I am planning to work abroad but still searching which country should I choose. Dubai is one of my list, what you said was all true, your video is convincing and motivates me. Bismillah I can definitely work as a digital marketer there. Aamiin
Living life with own satisfaction is blessing, You got this point Ovais 😊 God bless you
Thanks Man
Hey Brother, Ramadan Mubarak!
Watching this is great! Thanks for sharing.
Dubai Vs Germany
The decision is based on what's important to them!
Like you, Being a muslim ( halal food ) ,an online worker ( bothered by high taxation and looking for a place with a Future)
And especially a convince seeker Dubai is very convenient.
Dubai is best for u ..
Germany perhaps is better for someone studying or something..
Thanks for sharing.❤
I do e-commerce and am wondering where to go EU vs Dubai,
Being a hijabi Dubai felt soooooo good ..
But Germany gives u the passport 😅 so which ever comes FIRST am gonna go with haha
I came across your channel 2 years back, 1 day before you uploaded the video which you said you moved to Germany... After 2 years searched for your channel one day back for the digital marketing road map video .. now I'm watching this video saying you are leaving germany.
I completely agree with you. I have been living in Germany since last 3 years!! But personally it is very exhaustive because of mental breakdown without social networks, food, cost of living (especially in Berlin), etc,etc. I am too planning to move to some other country like Dubai or UK where life is comparatively easy.
Wish you luck!
Life is not easy in UK.
Life is far harder in the UK than it is in Germany.
Come to Bulgaria :D
Which is your birth country. there only you live. dont go to other countries to give trouble. If you are in dubai or india or pakistan be there only.
As a German, these are my words. We need motivated & skilled people, also from abroad, but the system doesn't give them a reason to come. That's why the country is going downhill. High taxes, unnecessary regulations, horrid amounts of bureaucracy, + a very negative attitude towards immgrants if you live outside of Berlin. It's just frustrating...
I didn't find it appropriate to mention the negative attitude. But I completely agree and that was one of the reasons but I didn't mention
Hi ovais ,
I have observed most of your courses on udemy , you haven't updated them as of yet. i am eagerly waiting some of your courses to be updated.
3 Best Countries in the World for Enterpenure and Businesses.
1). USA
2). Australia
3). UAE
All of them has high income potental and standard of life.
If you can't visit first 2 countries, Dubai is the best option for you.
interesting insights
Thank you for sharing your experience. It's a wise decision, considering the world is closely observing the Gulf with immense hope.
Thank You Ovais - Your content helps a lot.
I am from Pakistan and I have almost watched every video of yours, Kashmir vlog was having best background too.
I am also planning to move out of Pakistan and trying to hunt jobs in dubai. anyways Thanks you are a Great Teacher. ❤
Bro u came back i was thinking of going there.
Sir.. SEO or SMM which better for career growth??? Can you tell which domain of Digital marketing should I focus for better career?
Hey Ovais, Thank you for everything you share with us 🖤 A quick question, I am digital marketer working in agency (Dubai), do you recommend changing my agency every 2 to 3 years for more growth (financially and experience wise)?
I personally feel that you get comfortable after few years in the same company and the learning stops. So, I always suggest to change but depends on a lot of other factors too
very help full video
Welcome back sir
I faced the same problems in Germany, lived there for 3 years, I’m balkan and my man is middle eastern, the looks we got everytime we were out were disturbing. Don’t move to Europe if you already good and successful in another country, just travel there for vacation.
Great video. For someone who lived in Germany for 20 years, I agree with you 💯. As a digital marketer you should live in many places around the world. Wherever you are we will follow you 😊
Thanks for the kind words
I am a Graduate in Doctor of Pharmacy and also have 2 years of experience in Digital marketing. I am planning to move to Dubai but I am confused about my career. I either go with a doctor of pharmacy or digital marketing(My passion) as my career. What do you suggest there? And if their is any field to mix digital marketing with my experience in medicine Knowledge?
Go with Medicine and blend it with digital marketing. As i have experienced giving away my engineering experience for DM but realized it was a mistake. Now i m back in engineering with lot of knowledge of DM which i am gonna blend with my core expertise.
A big fan of yours. 100% agree with you.
Salamoualeykum, is dubai not adding corporate tax now?
I was working In Dubai for the last 2 & a half years in the field of digital marketing but now moved to the US to pursue my Masters. I've realized that once you live in Dubai, you can't live anywhere else. Even I've planned to ultimately move back to Dubai after completing my studies.
Ps: I also run a startup digital marketing agency in India and Dubai and believe me, the scope and growth I got in Dubai was unmatchable! People there are willing to try new things and open to experiments. What helped me the most was being an Indians.... it's the best place to be for Indians out of India... because you never feel like you've left your home.
Good Decision Mr. Owais, wish you good luck
I agree. Thanks
How do I join this channel from Bangladesh to avail all the content?
Bro, you have landed in the wrong place. Seems like you haven't done your homework before moving to Germany. Especially after living in Dubai people can't settle anywhere in the world. I lived in Dubai for 12 years then I moved to Portugal and left Portugal within 1 year for the UK. The lifestyle that Dubai offers is not available anywhere in the world, I can tell that confidently. But then again as you said you can't be in one place forever, Dubai makes people lazy & people are quite detached from reality. Life in any European Country is only fun when you know the Language. And you have to slow down coming out from Dubai seems like the rest of the world is sleeping in daylight.
So true. Feel the same in Ireland
Ireland is like dubai?? or like germany??
Bingo!
of course, Germany@@xtravengersgaming
@xtravengersgaming Germany
Irish people are much friendly than the Germans. Also there is no language barrier in Ireland.
Salaam. Thanks for the tip. Where are you from originally?
I am from Kashmir, India
@@SenatorWeRunAds you are from beautiful place. and jumping from one country to another
As per my experience i believe relocating from a certain place is not very easy good luck 😊
But what about your PR? Were you able to get it or would you be leave it as is? 😮
Sir, you haven't finished your course on Facebook ads mastery on Udemy. The Course was really great!, when will you finish it sir?
The next videos will be to finish the Facebook course
wish you the best bro
Thanks brother
Sir can you tell me about, digital marketing vs data analytics (not data science,ML AI etc)?? im confused between these two, which one i should go for!! i did learn few things about DM, also some say DM is very saturated n all ( also same same with DA, many fail at the interview stage) please tell me your thoughts and suggestions, im confused
If you like Marketing in general, go for DM. If you like Analytics and Data, go for DA. However, it is good to start with DM and then specialize in DA. That is a great combo
@@SenatorWeRunAds thank you sir for replying!! So learning SQL,and PowerBI with Excel will be great ....like fusion of DM+DA [like dragon ball z hahah]
My fav mentor is back😅
Was the transition smooth for your kids & family?
Dubai and Singapore are exceptional countries in the world!
You must always research about one countries tax structure before moving or taking a job...
Thanks for sharing your experience..
Yes, but sometimes you have surprises waiting even after researching :p
Absolutely.. @@SenatorWeRunAds
Good Decision. You help us to make the decision about to move from Dubai but Dubai is one new hub for the world for everything
Are you available on WhatsApp? I am really confused between these two countries as I have got admission in germany but have an option of going to dubai. Plzzz reply
there s no general rule, but have made your choice in choosing the places and you are lucky you can, first of all,
i think your decision is led by ambition or greed, ie to have as much cash as possible in the short term...you could have grown very well in germany also as a selfemployed, but you ve focussed more on taxes and social environment...if you d have had a better consultant and would have not focussed only on your courses but on the potential of the market, which has a client pool muuuch huge than in uae, you would have had a bigger success...
...it is also the age, you ll regret the wocial services and another kind of security when you ll be older...
good luck!
Sir , myself shahnawaz, 21 years old . I just completed my graduation I live in mumbai . I just completed my offline course in digital marketing. I want a suggestion from you regarding internships . Which will be better for my long term career . Digital marketing intern or should i start from an SEO intern . Because i worked on many different projects related to SEO .
I am asking this because many experienced digital marketers say that specialisation in one thing is important nowadays .
Thank you🙂
I recommend Paid media internship over SEO
Welcome back to Dubai Brother.
Same story. I lived in Dubai for 5 years and moved to Germany in 2022. Life in Germany is too hard for a person who spend good time in Dubai. Dubai is a heaven and I miss
I feel you brother
Why we can’t see your meta add vidoes from lecture 5 ??
Bro I won't say that I'm happy that you're leaving Germany but honestly I'm happy because here in Dubai we can get chances for meetups.
Europe is a very burocratic continent. In he U.S. there's a lot of regulations but NOT as much as in the E.U.
I am studying BS E-commerce do you see opportunities for e-commerce graduates??
Yes. Every company has an e-commerce front these days. But keep in mind, just degrees don't land you jobs now a days. Build on skills too
@SenatorWeRunAds sir which skills would be most important for an E-com graduates I have interests in data analytics, Web dev and digital marketing which one would you recommend for me to master?
So Dutsch's land is like oh' *icehockey* on seeing a doctor
I think work from home isn’t a good idea when moving to another area
Bro that's true I have my I relative said this statement
It is safest country on earth I say
what if dubai changes policies after few years?? (asking because, i might suggest it to one of my relative/friends)
There are so many what ifs in life! The best we can do is look at current situation
To be honest when ever i see your videos i feel proud
And when you left dubai i felt sad a bit
But In the end we wish you the best
Thanks. Means a lot man
See you soon in dubai brother👍
Yep that's what I'm trying to say to my American friends about Canada that because we have here a so called "Free Healthcare" It's not for better trust me
By the way “free healthcare” isnt free at all. It’s mandatory to pay monthly for private health insurance and many times you have to pay extra for the services because the insurance doesn’t cover the costs. Is that free healthcare? I don’t think so.
Hii sir please upload google ad manager (DFP) series next video
Still waiting from last year
Where r u sir now finally..
Being an Indian, what's your opinion on the cruel exploitation that happens to Indian labourers? Their passport gets seized forcefully and put into inhumane living conditions. All those tall buildings are standing on the dead bodies of our Indian brothers. If I'm wrong, I'd be happy to change my opinion.
No one forced them to come to Dubai. Check with other western countries if they even let them in.
Yes, Dubae / Oman passport capturing & not able to change jobs without employer's consent is extreme exploitation And it should be called out more.
Bro same can be said for Europe/US since they are also exploiting cheap 3rd world workers & resources through multinational companies. Global South's 80% of population is basically working for Global North.
Look at textile workers strike at Bangladesh from last 6-8 months as an example
@@user-lg5df8br7dBasically western countries have forced in a way. They colonized 3rd world for centuries & also took all the resources. They are still controlling many countries (not India btw) through IMF & other foriegn loans/aid.
@@ayaz372 I agree. Exploitation of poor happens in India as well. When you talk about Us or European countries, people who are stuck there are mostly those who enter there illegally. By no way it justifies the cruelty on them but it's a totally different story.
However, the degree of exploitation is something else in UAE as per my knowledge. Funny things is that they use Indian travel influencers to boost their tourism and take advantage of poor labourers from India.
By no way I wanted to challenge Ovais sir's decision. It's his life. I just wanted his opinion on this matter because even I feel like trying to get a job in Dubai because of the insane level of attractive career opportunites available in Dubai. It's just that its so sad when you think about the living conditions of our countrymen.
Sir, what are the best platforms for social media marketers to find remote or onsight jobs for newbies
Please answer this. I will wait for your reply sir
The best is LinkedIn, Fiverr
@SenatorWeRunAds thanks for the reply sir it means a lot to me
Bro how to contact with you?
If you come to Dubai can we meet you. We are having an agency in Dubai we need your help Sir
❤
Sir please make a video on zapier
I am not very well versed on Zapier myself :p
When I got to know that you decided to move Germany, I felt you have taken the wrong decision. If you would have moved uk. Usa or Singapore then that would make more sense.
3:35 "unless you are literally dying" i want to make one thing clear. yes you can not just walk into an hospital and demand a specialist if it is not an emergency. for me personally it makes sense. if it is not an emergency but you need a none basic specialist appointment you have to talk to your "house doctor" first, i think "family doctor" is the actual english term. your family doctor then arranges you other appointments. if he/she thinks it is nessecary even a prioritized appointment. in my case, i got every appointment i asked for so far.
Sir How much is your salary in Dubai and home and car given you by office or by your own money
People hustle here, you left dubai coz you didn't want to hustle. It's your life, it's your choices how you want to live
bro you should start consult video call paid for the people who want to ask you some question
I honestly want to but my time doesn't allow that. However, my plan is to do live videos on TH-cam and talk to everyone where people can ask anything via live chat
@@SenatorWeRunAds but bro you can just adjust your time accourding you just like on candely most on influncer i know who are dffernt niche also do that just like parul khanna
Great job 🎉 awesome content
Could you please inform me what is the degree that you got in marketing . like, diploma, bachelor's, Master's, PhD
Looking for an advice Thanks.
I have education in Electrical Engineering
@@SenatorWeRunAds ouh man, few days ago I met the head of the college of marketing in my university about getting a diploma or bachelor's degree and he emphasize that bachelor's essential and needed
While I viewed hundreds of people in TH-cam and Quora saying that degree not effective
I think degrees gonna be useless from this period and on...
Any advice about the most reliable courses to take
Thanks again 🌷
Hello sir, if it's possible I just like you to do us a favor, by just making your Facebook ads course for free, please... I mean the rest of the course ,thanks
Hi Omar, This is my full time business to create courses. The income helps me to do it and invest my time and pay others who work on it. If I make it free, it is not sustainable. If the work is not compensated, how do you expect us to be working on all this? Hope you understand
yeah i understand ,great content@@SenatorWeRunAds
@@SenatorWeRunAdstrue… he can save and invest in the course rather than free
🟠Totally agree 👌
I'm 19 years old I just finished my high school, and as everyone know the degree in business and marketing almost waste of time, what should I do now?
Looking for your respond 🙏🙂
but dubai doesn't give citizenship
Yes, but look at the other benifits like no tax, safety and even golden visa. But at the same time, depends on the priorities of a person. Might not be the first choice for some
@@SenatorWeRunAds so bro what about parents you don't thing that settle down at one place is easy than doing job in another contry to contry
germany give you citizenship haha wait until they want to make the purge they will turn you into soap
Wise decision
Thanks. Do you have similiar experience?
Hi sallam sir,
Do you have a course to become a content creator, like I'm here in Dubai and i wanted to start as a content creator either it can be a content creator in real estate .
Please let me know ASAP
Anyone else who is in Dubai can also help me with suggestions
Good decision
But here is no coupon code your sir
It is in the description of the video on the top
Not just dubai , other gulf countries like Qatar, oman , bahrain also provide a similar lifestyle. Gulf will be becoming the next europe.
True
Welcome back to Dubai Habeebee
100% you should go back to Dubai again.. and believe me "Lion is back".. after a long rest.. 😅
I am already in Dubai since a month. Feel good to be back here
