S& can one move offices from EU to Dubai office as a Manager (without an MBA)?

I agree with the comments and it is “don’t do it”. I worked at neither but heard nothing but horror stories… there are other threads were the leadership and culture were criticized

I appreciate the warning! Will definitely be more careful about setting boundaries and expectations early on. Thanks for the input.

I report to my director who reports to our SVP, and I’ve worked for this Fortune 20 company for 10 yrs. Any info would be helpful. Thank you!
