One of your New Year resolutions may well be to make your next career move in Commodities and Oil Trading in the UAE.  Here are some reasons for making your move to the UAE one that you won’t regret.

The first reason that comes to most people’s minds is financial. Whilst that’s a major consideration of course, it’s not the only one. But let’s start with  that nonetheless!

Tax- free income regimes exist across all of the UAE allowing professionals to maximize their earnings whilst working here. Not only is income tax free, the majority of employers also offer comprehensive benefits packages to employees. These can include relocation, accommodation allowances, flights ,  school assistance and health insurance. All very compelling.

The UAE is of course a global energy hub. Global players across the Commodities and Oil Trading eco system are based or have significant presence here. Abu Dhabi alone holds 96% of the UAE’s oil reserves and is home to some of the world’s largest oil fields. Having such a diverse array of commodities and oil market participants means the UAE can offer you a wide variety of career opportunities not just now but for future career possibilities.

Geographically the UAE is located in a strategically important location linking East and West. As such it is an ideal location for oil and commodities professionals to be based. It provides access and exposure to major projects and organisations across Middle East, Africa and Asia. And therefore unmatched career opportunities.

Looking forward, the UAE’s ambitious Vision 2030 plans include significant investments in energy infrastructure and sustainability initiatives across all emirates. This creates opportunities for professionals to work on innovative projects, from enhanced oil recovery in Abu Dhabi to renewable energy integration throughout the country, ensuring long-term career growth potential.

On top of the economic and career benefits is simply the lifestyle the UAE has to offer. Each emirate has its own unique culture and lifestyle but all provide an enhanced quality of living standards. Dubai is the epitome of cosmopolitan whilst Abu Dhabi blends modernity and culture. All offer world class infrastructure, healthcare and international schooling. Something for all the family.

Family life thrives across the UAE. Alongside international schooling are family friendly communities and every recreational activity imaginable. All the Emirates are renowned for their safety , multicultural environment and welcoming attitude to the ex-patriate communities. It would be hard to find a region more suited to relocate to for career and lifestyle opportunities than the UAE.
