In the Middle east, you will get to work on high impact, large scale projects (projects in London are a joke in front of them).
Money is good (3x), Dubai is sunny and has a beach. What’s not to like! I love it.

Mind if I dm you?

So what's the average income of a big 4 Manager in Dubai? Glassdoor suggests that an EY Manager earns AED 300k / year which is GBP 60k / year. That's not 3x London income.. or am I missing something here (barring the income tax benefit)?

How do you judge when to leave a company for something better if you never burn out or hate where you are?
My specific situation: 4 years out of undergrad with Slalom, I like my job/coworkers and am making solid money but am starting to be qualified for interesting/lucrative exit ops. Not trying to grass-is-always-greener myself out of a good thing and I'm in no rush to leave, but how do I know when it's time to take advantage of other opportunities? Would love any advice from older folks!

Networking question here. A retired partner at the firm I used to work out reached out to me recently about attending an afternoon during the week (b4 4/30) with one of his long time clients. The partner and I have kept in touch since I joined my new firm and I feel like his invitation is a great networking opportunity since the client (who I have worked with before) is on a number of boards. Torn as how to request off as an S3. Could materialize to nothing but could be good for reconnecting.
