How this Bangladeshi Expat Struck Gold in Abu Dhabi

Mohammed Wahid didn’t come to Abu Dhabi expecting an easy life. He departed with a dream to build a brighter tomorrow for himself and family. He began as an electrician, earning Dh700 a month. He had to pay for his own visa, and while he adapted to life in a new nation far from family, he had to manage his small salary carefully. Wahid’s early years have not been easy but he viewed his circumstances as the start of a journey not a constraint on what he could achieve.

Wahid spent his first ten years in the city building expertise and establishing his profession one step at a time.

He’s worked to understand what the workplace demands, earn trust, and build his skills, rather than jumping straight into business. His promotion from electrician to department in-charge gave him knowledge that proved useful when he decided to start his own enterprise.It was the first days. They were hard. My wage was quite modest, therefore, every dirham was important. “I was away from my family, I missed home, I had to get used to a new language, a new culture and a demanding work environment,” Wahid said.

He lived a simple life, conserved prudently, and kept learning new skills. He has viewed every duty as an opportunity to learn, no matter how modest the assignment.

He has also benefited from relationships with coworkers of different nationalities, which helped him settle in Abu Dhabi.

Those friendships taught me that people worldwide share the same hopes. Every hard day was a brick in the foundation I stand on today.
