Who is building and hiring in data centres, power and AI infrastructure (funding rounds, market entries into the Gulf, project awards), the roles they hire next, and pay with the sample size stated. Short enough to read on a phone between meetings.

What's in each issue

  1. Who moved: funding rounds, Gulf market entries, licences, project awards, with the roles each will hire next and roughly when.
  2. Roles by family: what is being advertised and what is being filled quietly, by market.
  3. Pay: base and allowances for 3 to 6 roles, each with source and sample size. If a figure isn't published anywhere I trust, I say so.
  4. One thing I'd do now: a single, practical hiring suggestion.
