If by folks, you mean straight men... because I sure as hell wouldn't consider moving if I was gay or a woman. Just this week Ireland had to pressure UAE to return an Irish woman who authorities imprisoned for "attempting suicide" after she was injured because of domestic violence.

Tech is mostly made from men and you don't need to share your sexual preference with anyone, so I don't really see a problem. Make some money and get back.

Straight men account for a large portion of workforce. So might not be a bad strategy for UAE / SA to lure those.

if by straight men you mean the vast majority of the tech / finance workforce ???
