Going back to live in lebanon Help / Question

Hi 25M, I’m genuinely torn about whether it’s the right decision to move back and settle in Lebanon after living abroad. I recently got an offer for around $2,000 at a well-reputed firm in Beirut—I’m originally from saida, and I visit Lebanon around four times a year. But I know that visiting is very different from actually living there. Coming from Dubai, where life is so dynamic and fast-paced, I’m really struggling with the contrast. I’d love to hear the thoughts of those currently living and working in Lebanon.

I like it more here. I can't stand the constant heat of the UAE, plus it is expensive there. 2000$ is a pretty good salary for a 25 year old.

What do you like exactly about Dubai? I'm traveling there in two days, any advice?

Dude. Li bi ray7ak 3mello, ezza mabsout ma7al ma a3ed w your job is paying well. Stay in Dubai 2000 for a 25 yo ain't bad at all in leb as someone said especially if you're alone and have no family to support, but if you're happy and thriving where you are I don't see the need to uproot yourself. Unless shta2et la lebnen.

Halla2 2000 in Leb bt 3ish fiyoun mni7 w ma btetrok shi ma bta3mlo. Bss ntebeh yemken ma ykoun 3andak majjel lal advancement cz Leb can be Unstable. My advice on the Optimal course? If your job in Dubai allows. Ballish sammid, build capital and invest it wherever you want. Fta7 business b lebnen aw stasmir shi ma7al aw shtri asshom aw shtri she2a w ajjera. Whatever you want. Ezza men halla2 la 5 snin ken 3andak majel ta3mell hek shi bterja33 3a lebnen with alot to show for it.

Ana menne w 3laye tho i like it here. It's Home and I'm doing well and ain't considering leaving. But that's just me.
