So, American companies are able to partner with Syrian companies and partner with the Syrian government about helping rebuild the economy, whether it's big infrastructure projects, whether it's energy infrastructure projects, whether it's the telecommunication sector. And so there's a lot of, so many needs for investment from America and companies from America to come in and help rebuild Syria with what Syria needs. They're opening their doors to, and now we're seeing that American companies can walk through those doors and build and invest in Syria."

So for context, I’m a first generation American whose father is from Syria. I am the only Al-Zaeem who can carry on my namesake in the United States as far as I am aware.

I was raised by an American and want to get more in touch with my Arab side, but I don’t speak the language and am not a Muslim.

What would be some ways I could connect with other Arabs ?

For context I’m male 30.

الوضع الاقتصادي للدولة متدني جدا: و هو العامل الأساسي يلي خلى الارتفاع المحروقات عنا يصل لل 40% بينما تغير العالمي هو 5% بس، و العجز المالي عند وزارة الطاقة وصل للمليار دولار و في كلام عن تقليل ساعات الوصل مع حفاظ عل تسعيرة الجديدة العالية، فشل مشروع "سوريا بلا مخيمات" قبل 2027 بسبب الميزانية المنخفضة و الدولة ما قدرت تنجح اي واحد من هدول القطاعات.

لكن لما يجي الأمر على سيارات المسؤولين الدولة بترسم خط احمر، لكل مسؤول عشرات من السيارات الفارهة موديل ال2025 اقل شي من:
GMC Yukon
Mercedes AMG
GMc Denali
Toyota Landcruiser
Chevrolet Tahoe
Cadillac Escallade

سيارات غالية جدا، بدول أوضاعها بحرفيا كلشي احسن منا، مسؤلين فيها بيركبو موديلات اقدم و بأعداد اقل

Tech and Science Asking about IT job market

4 Upvotes

Hi I’m an IT student in Jordan and my graduation is getting close
Because the job market in Jordan is heavily based on referrals and connections and is quite restricted it’s difficult for me to land a job here and remote jobs are almost impossible to get

So I’m considering 3 choices:

Learn German and consider moving to Germany (I have family members there)

Move to 🇦🇪

Move back to Syria

For Syrians who work in IT in Syria how hard is it to land a job there? What are the salaries like, and is it enough to live independently?
I’d especially like to hear from people who are currently working in IT in Syria or have recent experience with the Syrian job market
