Web3 Career Guide: An Emerging Encryption Oasis in the Desert, Unveiling the Mysteries of Working in Dubai

With the strong support of the UAE government for the encryption industry, many exchanges have also established headquarters in Dubai and Abu Dhabi. This has brought numerous job opportunities stationed in Dubai for the industry, and the crypto world event TOKEN 2049 has just concluded in Dubai. Recently, Alessandro Palombo shared a 2025 version of the Dubai living experience on Twitter. If you are still unsure whether you can adapt to or even like life in Dubai, or if you are still considering going to Dubai for work, you might refer to this article.

Dubai's business pace is extremely fast and is never lacking in opportunities.

Alessandro Palombo pointed out that the business pace in Dubai is extremely fast, with transactions completed within 24 hours. Investors even make commitments before you finish your pitch. He described that after a while, he returned and realized how fast the business speed was here.

In Dubai, there is never a lack of opportunities, apart from oil. Missed a meeting? Or canceled at the last minute? Don't back down easily; there will always be another deal here. Another opportunity to connect with potential partners, this is typical Dubai.

Alessandro Palombo, who lives in Lisbon, Portugal, also pointed out that although it is the same company, the energy of the Dubai department is completely different from that of the European department. In Dubai, it is about promoting a proposal, cutting out the nonsense, and then starting to take risks.

Meanwhile, the European department first sends an email. Wait. Then continue this cycle.

He stated that the difference is huge, and everyone can feel it.

The highly competitive environment in Dubai brings a tide effect.

"In Dubai, money will keep coming in." A trader once told me this, and he was indeed right; this is why people are willing to take risks. Alessandro Palombo stated that Dubai is a place worth betting big. Three years later, you might win. But in Portugal, three years later you might just have obtained your residence permit.

Alessandro Palombo shared that he was just having a casual meal in Dubai when he encountered an influential person with over 40 million followers. This is quite normal in Dubai. Everyone is ambitious. It makes you start to think, "Why not me?" This is the rising tide effect, where your mindset elevates with the environment. However, he also pointed out from his own perspective that this psychological state comes at a cost.

The cost of living in Dubai is high, and the quality of life is average.

As for the quality of living, Alessandro Palombo shares from his own experience that the food in Dubai is roughly at an average level, whether it's high-end restaurants or street food, it's about that price range of average quality. However, there are 4 months a year when the weather is too hot for comfortable living. Besides that, the cost is high, and the quality of life is average. Moreover, it seems like everyone is wearing similar brands, and he jokes that everyone pays the price of "Dubai-ification" for this trend.

Despite this, the city still lingers in his mind. You will encounter people who were unknown three years ago but are now everywhere. This will reshape the way you think and expand your horizons. Alessandro Palombo feels that the city has two demands: retirement and rapid growth. Dubai lets you know that anything is possible, while Lisbon reminds you of what is enough.
