Likely more money to be made / saved in UAE. Preference of living in the EU vs Middle East is subjective, but no contest EU personally. I’d pick EU.

Totally subjective choice

More money in UAE since no/low taxes.

Personally, I would live in EU as quality of life, things to do, general vibe much better

Middle East is not everyone cup of tea and if you are already living in North America/Europe , I would stay there as the change in lifestyle is substantial

Curious about thoughts on on discount points (I think I’ve already read every article on Google). I am refinancing my personal residence (future rental) as well as a rental property. The mortgage brokers discourage me from spending a ton on points (rolled in, not up front). In some cases, it’s a 16 year break even. I get that’s a very long time to break even, but I have no intention of getting rid of the properties and doubt rates will drop much below current. Max breakeven point for you?

Hello Guys,

I have 8 years of experience with more than 4 years in the current organization. Current package is 9.5 LPA. I have offers with Accenture (14L fixed and 4L variable) and CTS (15.5L fixed and 70k variable) both having more than 75% hike.
In my current organization, I see a scope for onsite assignment (not 100% confirmed though). I am confused of which one to choose - Wheather to stay back or switch to which company.

Any suggestion is appreciated. Thanks
