Shift to Dubai for better life

Im having 9yrs of experience as a web developer in Pune and I just went for 1w trip to Dubai. Its Outstanding! Swear by God!

Planning to seek out a job there.

Will it be the best decision considering I'm having a stable job at Infosys.

I want to settle and have a family there and live a life of very high standards.

India feels like shit

Sharks your advice will mean a lot!

I'm choosing to ignore your last statement about India unlike other triggered people in the comments and answering the actual question.

Reasons to move:

  1. 0 tax
  2. In general higher paying jobs but also higher cost of living (You need to evaluate this basis the offer you get compare it with your current salary after PPP)
  3. Better quality of life (Road safety, Infra)
  4. Opens more easier avenues to travel around Europe

Reasons to stay

  1. Parents ( Now you'd say I plan to visit or come back but no one I know till today has come back despite having crores of savings.
  2. Friends and social circle established here over the years
  3. Few rules in Dubai are stricter than that of India's (You have to figure out these differences and if they work for you)

To me there seems to more upside than there is downside in moving to Dubai however both my spouse and I decided to never shift out of India for our parents.

No doubt Dubai's infra and other amenities is world-class and absolutely no harm in seeking better opportunities.

But calling the country where you lived your life 'sh**', is being ungrateful and disrespectful.

No doubt India has its flaws and it definitely is not a perfect country.

It's okay to seek out better opportunities and move to location that will make you happy and provide a better life to your family.

But always remember, when things go haywire, it is this 'sh**' India that will come to your rescue.

Kuwait, Ukraine, Yemen, examples are aplenty.

Houthis are rebels from Yemen if am not wrong ..and Dubai is no where close to supporting them .. irrespective of them being Arabs . Dubai just worships money and white folks
Infact they despise those people

I was considering moving to Dubai just a couple of months ago for works.

Reasons I considered:

  • No income tax
  • Better infrastructure and lifestyle
  • New country, new experiences
  • Good network
  • close to India, can travel back and forth easily

Why I didn’t go with it:

  • Cost of living is very high. What I’m saving on taxes, I’ll end up spending on rent, utilities, etc. To have the same lifestyle I have in India, I’ll be spending about 2 lakhs a month there and I’m actually very frugal on my day to day expenses.
  • Plenty of Indians but spent a month there and still felt out of place

People like this take full advantage of the Indian Government schemes and benefits and then bitch them. Anti-nationals like this should be tackled by the government bring down to knee and debar them from India.
