First post! #Urgent #Need advice.

Working in EY and getting 45L as senior manager. Have a Dubai EY offer with 35k AED per month with manager designation. Need guidance on what to do ?

In India, I have a stable job, got promoted, and have family support.

Dubai - Tax free salary, Demotion, travel to Saudi frequently as projects are Saudi based. Closer to India etc

Need advice. Will move with wife and daughter.

It was better here. Indians aren't given the same compensation level there

Okay if you’re single.

For family - unless they provide accommodation assistance; don’t go. Won’t be as comfortable as India.

Can you please tell why ?

I can tell about my expenses 1BR - 5K AED (non downtown area) Utilities - 1.5K AED Food - 2K AED (cook + grocery) Eating out - 1.5K AED Maid - 600 AED Car - 2K AED Petrol - 500 AED Gym - 1K AED Miscellaneous- 2K Total - 16K AED

This is just fixed, add in amortised gift + travel (I reserve 30K AED combined for both per annum).

The remaining amount can be saved (40%) + invested (60%)

I’m single and live essentially upper middle class lifestyle as I’d in india. I assume you’d want that too. If you live in sought after area like Marina- cost would be 20% higher. If you have kids - add in 4K additionally for schooling.

You’d practically end up saving as much as india only - if you’re lucky.

Unless your partner has a good job , it seems to be frisky move.

If it's the same firm, I would suggest go for it.

Multi-cultural exposure helps in more ways than you can think of. I am also assuming the decision would be short term and reversible if you do not want to extend it.

Also, you can say you do not like the terms but are open to moving. Another international role without a demotion might come along.

MNCs like EY have this USP.

If you have never worked anywhere else except India. My suggestion would be to go for it. 35k AED anyways is cheery-on-top. Demotion is one spoiler, but worth new experiences in life.

It is a pretty risky move. Consider what you want next from your life and career over money (unless you really want/need money quickly)

Why is it risky? Not enough exit options?
