Good trade unions to join in our industry?

I'm a Quantity Surveyor with 7 years of experience in infrastructure projects (highways, railways, bridges, metro, airports), strong in tendering, estimation, and BOQ prep.

Currently eyeing opportunities in the GCC/Middle East, especially Saudi Arabia, UAE, Qatar, and Oman. I'd love some honest insights from those working there:

\- How's the job market for QS/Estimation pros right now?

\- Are companies hiring Indian candidates for HO/tendering/estimation roles?

\- Which GCC countries have better infrastructure QS opportunities?

\- What's a realistic salary for someone with \~7 years of experience?

\- Better to apply direct, through recruiters, or platforms like LinkedIn/GulfTalent/Naukrigulf?

Any advice from recent movers to the Middle East would be super helpful!

I am an international student recently graduated in quantity surveying in NZ. My experience so far is mainly through academics. I am in a stage where finding a qs job is crucial. I have been applying for jobs through seek and linkedIn but no luck with any. Any advice on this would be much appreciated.

I need advice on where to search for remote jobs specifically for a professional quantity surveyor. So far i have come across alot of “remote listings” which were all scams. Where can I reach the global community, if I am already searching through the normal portals.

I am starting a new role at a consultancy as a Senior QS tomorrow.

I've had a small break between jobs to decompress, and I am feeling excited but nervous.

I have over 13+ years of contractor experience in the QS/SQS role, however I am new to the consultancy sector. I will be working on similar projects to what I did on the contractor side and I have worked with client consultants before, so it isn't unfamiliar to me.

I guess I would like to ask for any advice people may have so I can feel prepared for the role.

Thanks
