Any fish here who moved to Dubai/ME from Europe/North America and moved back home after a few years? How easy was it to move back home in terms of finding a position that didn’t require a demotion?

I heard from one person that if I want to move to back to my home country after working a few years in Dubai as a big 4 SM, my experience wouldn’t be valued at big 4 in Europe/North America and I’d have to start at least one step back. Is that true?

Hoping to find better insights here!

I do like the company that gave me an offer but their base pay was 80k and they went up to 85k. Is asking for them to match the 90k too much? The position is associate systems engineer.
