I think that you like the island life DR is beautiful

A Dominican-American (Dominican York as we like to call them) friend of mine went on a trip totally for pleasure a few years back to one of the fancier hotels in Punta Cana and he became pretty friendly with one of the Hotel execs. My friend ended up being offered a position that paid in dollars and had several other perks. My friend had reservations about living in DR and he also felt an obligation to help his mom out so he decided against it. I think he was crazy for turning it down considering he was a single guy with relatively few things that tied him down but I digress . OP, if you are serious about working in DR and maybe even becoming an entrepreneur there I would go on a visit first and try to see if it is really for you and to make some contacts. You need the contacts.

@RajatArora, I will recommend you to contact Man-India it is a Software Enterprise from India who operates in the Dom. Rep. too, so that you get some kind of better inputs.

best regards.-

I know man, island life also is no less of a motivation. I'll get in touch with Mann India technologies. I'm also keeping my options open with big projects like capcana and puntacana resorts. I've acquired PR and Branding skills with I can capitalize on with hospitality Industry also.
Its very expensive back in Santo Domingo but if I'm getting in dollars then I can surely manage.

I personally think , after living here for 5 or 6 years that you would be making a great error in trying to establish a career here in the DR especially in the finance or hospitality areas ..I can think of no company in this country that would prefer you rather than a Spanish speaking Latino with one or two degrees ,,,and there are many with those qualifications from South America, here and from the USA.
i would strongly urge you to reconsider .

Do you think so? I believe it's the opposite because the more languages you speak and more diverse background you have, the better off you are at adquiring more clientele for a company in DR.

It would definitely help if he knew Spanish, at least basic Spanish. But that's not everything since a lot of these companies are not even owned or ran by Latinos. Also, DR like many other Latin American countries has a brain-drain (a lack of qualified people in many fields). I think he needs to worry more about NOT KNOWING ANYONE IN DR. Without the proper contacts, he's not going anywhere.

DR is a land of great opportunities - and also has the advantage of being similar in time zone to bout US and Europe. With many major projects and a expanding economy now is an excellent time to establish a business. There is also the chance of 'near-shoring' to the US and Central America. DR is also an attractive location for the whole conference industry.
It is clear there is huge potential especially in the computing industry.

Todo comenzó con Cristóbal Colón, los españoles, los británicos y, finalmente, los estadounidenses. Hubo un tiempo en el que todos querían estar en la región caribeña. La economía, una vez superado este periodo de crisis, redifinirá sus prioridades y percepciones, puesto que hemos sido testigos de cómo en la última década todos han pasado de lo bueno a lo mejor.

Me apasiona el cálculo numérico, conocer gente nueva y viajar a nuevos lugares.

I know little bit of spanish as I'm learning from Embassy of Spain. Honestly India is a intelectual talent pool world over, many indian companies are targeting latin america. I already have offers from france but most of these markets are already saturated like hospitality and are surviving on repeat business, big players are investing their fortunes in Caribbean. i believe with my PR and marketings skills i can surely create value at various levels in due course.
