Hey guys I need some advice 😭
I’m thinking of renting a furnished studio in Erbil and I’m kinda stuck between these places
Centro Towers
White Towers
Life Towers
Wave Avenue
Iskan Towers
My budget is around $250–350 a month
For anyone who lives in these compounds or has experience with them which one do you think is the best? Like in terms of the apartments themselves cleanliness security maintenance and just overall living experience
Also is it realistic to find a decent furnished studio in this budget or am I asking for too much lol 😭
Would really appreciate any advice or personal experiences

Hey,

I want to start an international freelance remote job, such as data annotations, micro-tasking, AI training, and such.

I need to know how I can establish my digital wallet from kri. I tried FIB because it could work as a neobank for digital jobs, then found out it's internationally sanctioned and will make issues for me in the future, to let's say if I ever wanted to travel abroad and they asked for my bank account.

I need to know whether (Arab Bank Iraq) works for such a purpose, as for NIB, I have issues registering, like it says, (Your data could not be sent to NIB, contact us), and it was not because of the internet or stuff, I tried it thrice.

I just gave up on NIB, and as for the Trade Bank, it's not providing such digital services as Arab Bank Iraq, I also thought of Byblos Bank, but I'm not sure.

So, I need to know if Arab Bank Iraq works if I connect it to my Payoneer account, or do you have any better options like Crypto and USDT saved in like Trust Wallet and such? Will that work? I'm not so experienced, and I need to know how I can use such money, like how to make it officially cash in kri and iraq in general.

Also, for those who have done those jobs I mentioned above, how do you think of that? What about legal video games like those in Faceit, Buff.game and such?

And how do early freelancers here in Iraq get any remote jobs at all? Because I searched a lot on the internet, and I could not find any applications. I would love to know that as well.

And are these banks secure?

Thank you!!

FIB to crypto or borsa? help

those who graduated in architecture, please share your work life, and what would you advise someone who wants to go architecture, and would you do architecture again, is the payout good?

I did a small freelancing job for a friend, and as a reward I am getting paid. It’s a very small amount, but how do I receive that money? My friend is either in the USA or Canada. My sister has a Qi Card, FIB (online only), Bank of Baghdad, and an Islamic Bank card. Some of them were made for her by the company for her payroll, so she has the IBAN. My parents also have NBI cards that they received to get their salaries.

I’m not sure what the easiest way is. What do I have to do to receive it?

Hi,

I am looking forward to travel to Erbil next year, I have work with some sensitive and very important government personnels in Erbil. Everyone I see tells me that I should not travel there due to the ongoing war and especially that I will likely be working in governmental areas, so they might be targeted.

Yet I searched and found that Erbil have good food, good landscapes and nature , especially in other areas of Kurdstan . So I am trying to be optimistic, and as Muslim man I belive القدر مكتوب already. I already accepted the offer to travel yet my fears always there whenever I see drone attacks in Kurdstan. I am watching the situation very closely and can see the attacks lately.

Anyways , besides this , is it hard to learn kurdish ? I belive there are several types of it as well, since I will be in Erbil what type should I learn ?

Yes, being athiest, anti Islam, gay, lesbian, are they illegal in erbil?

First of all, I am kurdish so stop saying if you are arab js get out and blah blah blah. So I’m looking for honest advice about choosing a university major, especially from people who have studied or worked in dentistry or architecture in Iraq or the Kurdistan Region.
I’ve always dreamed of studying architecture, especially at AUK, and I genuinely love the idea of becoming an architect. However, I’m currently studying dentistry, and I’m confused about whether I should continue or pursue architecture instead.
One of my biggest concerns is my future. I’ve heard that architecture can be difficult to find work in, especially in Iraq/Kurdistan, and I’m worried about spending years studying it only to struggle to find a job. Dentistry seems like a more practical option, but I also know it requires licensing and additional requirements if I want to work abroad.
I’m a woman, so I’d also appreciate hearing about the experiences of women working in both professions.
I’d love to know:
How difficult is it to find a job after graduating in dentistry versus architecture in Kurdistan/Iraq?
Which field offers more stable employment and better long-term career growth?
What are the salaries and working conditions like for women in both fields?
Is dentistry a better option if I want to work or move abroad in the future?
Can architects from Iraq realistically build careers abroad?
If you studied either of these fields, are you happy with your decision?
Would you choose the same major again?
I’d especially appreciate advice from people with actual experience in these professions, rather than just general opinions.
Thank youuu

are there any good gyms near 150M/Ava media? or any gyms at all

I want to do wizari exam after doing international exams is that possible?

hey guys. just wanted to let you know about an opportunity in case anyone needs a dental crown. since i’m a dental student, i know that getting dental work done at private clinics can be really expensive, so this could be a good option for anyone looking for something more affordable. the treatment is supervised by experienced, skilled dentists, and the lab itself aims to use high-quality materials while keeping the cost low. if you’ve had a root canal, it’s worth asking your dentist whether a crown is recommended to protect your tooth from fracturing. if anyone is interested, feel free to tell me and i can share more details
no pressure at all, just thought i’d put this out there in case it helps someone ♡

Slav o rez,

Im a petroleum engineering graduate, i graduated being 1st out of 54 students with about 1 year of experience as a field engineer in the construction industry and i also have had a 3 month internship in an oil and gas company. My question is what is the only way to get into the industry in Kurdistan since it’s full of operating companies, i once participated in a exam in a company called HKN energy i passed being one the 4 people who passed it and moved to the interview just for them to say my age doesn’t fit this position which actually really hurt me and destroyed my confidence because i got everything right im sure they took somebody else using wasta. I have been trying out for other companies continuously and no company even answers me and i hear people who have less qualifications just using Wasta they get in like a spill of water which is really sad. So please if there is someone out here who can help me out to get into the industry i would really appreciate it and pray for him/her until i die because i really love this profession and its a passion not just a job for me.

Sopass!

hi i am 16 years old, i came back to erbil before i finished my gcses (uk exams), i cameback mainly because its better to live here, considering the fact i am involved with a large tech business which is setting me up for a good future, and i have all my aunts uncles cousins in erbil.

I chose not to go to school here, because i seriously dont see a point to it, alot of people that go through school end up with bad jobs anyway, and i think i dont need it.

I cant write or read kurdish, but i can speak it fine.

If the tech business doesnt go well for me, id just go back to the UK.

What do you think? Should I go to school or pursue this work?

I've never worked before, but I've heard that some people hire others to raise chickens for 12 hours a day, and they live in a caravan.

Does anyone know where to get good filler than doesnt look duckyyy and horrible

Hey guys, I have been looking for affordable accommodation in Erbil in the past month and prices are very high for my income, I was wondering if there was decently priced studio or 1+1 apartments in Erbil, my budget is 200$

I'm honestly so tired of the job situation here. You go to interviews, and sometimes it feels like getting hired is more about who you know than what you can actually do. And even when you find a job, the salary is ridiculously low for the amount of work and hours they expect from you.

I've started looking for remote jobs outside Iraq, but that's been a struggle too because so many companies don't hire people from Iraq.

I know I have skills, and I'm willing to learn, but actually finding a decent opportunity feels almost impossible.

So, if you're working remotely, how did you get started? What websites did you use? How do you get paid? And do you have any advice for someone trying to get their first remote job?

I'd really appreciate any advice or personal experiences. I'm honestly just trying to find a decent opportunity
