Just a reference: dont move below 50k aed/ month salary. Its a broad benchmark but that should be bare min.

why?

So far all offers I’ve gotten for Dubai/Abu Dhabi were a lot better than Singapore. But quality of life there is not as good as Singapore.

I’d say Dubai has more turn over in people making it harder to forge deeper relationships, although that might have changes since covid in sg too. Singapore has better commuting options whereas UAE a car is almost a necessity. If you like drinking they are a bit more strict on where you can do that. Food is definitely cheaper in Singapore. UAE summers are horrible. Travelling from Singapore is easier if you like SEA. UAE is generally easier to travel home if you are from the US or Europe.

I would say that housing in UAE is a lot cheaper.

For me UAE is far better good salaries tax free plenty of housing as a foreigner its easy to invest in real estate closer to EU region,

I am a mid level and have received an offer from a regional big law firm in a non-market paying location. I believe the firm would be a great fit and the location is where I want to be. The biggest issue is money. I’d be lateraling from full cravath in a major market and the initial offer I received is a bit off that (read: 50% salary reduction). While the market is cheaper in some respects, housing is not. How far can I expect this firm to go to in terms of compensation? Any negotiation tips?
