@jaggy.abroad: Episode 18/100 of Humans of Dubai 🇦🇪 Today, I met Harsh, who is originally from Delhi, India, but was born and raised in Dubai. He currently runs his own AI business and also works in cybersecurity. Before starting his business, he worked as a cybersecurity specialist at one of the Big Four firms. When I asked him about salaries in cybersecurity, he shared that professionals in Dubai can earn anywhere between AED 11,000 and AED 35,000, while those in senior positions can make AED 45,000 to AED 50,000 or even more. But what interested me most was his perspective on choosing between a corporate job and running your own business. He believes both paths have their advantages. Having your own business gives you flexibility, but it also requires more effort and hard work to make money. For him, entrepreneurship isn't just about leaving your job and starting something new. It's about building something while you still have financial stability. And his advice to anyone thinking about starting a business is simple: “Relationships matter a lot. Start your business while you're working your job, fuel your business, then move full-time to your business.” His journey is a reminder that building a business doesn't always mean taking a big risk from day one. Sometimes, it's about preparing yourself before making the leap. Every person has a story. Every dream matters. This is Humans of Dubai, Episode 18.
