Considering taking an internal transfer - KSA or UAE?

Plan is to do a short stint and gather some savings to buy a home in London (where I'm from)

How much am I making at McK at AP in KSA?

How much do you typically need in cash to buy in London

That's a huge range pal. I'm aiming to save about £500k

You should consider KSA, more money, cheaper. Less fun than Dubai/Abu Dhabi though

Depends on your definition of “surviving” vs “rolling in cash”. Manage your lifestyle and 220 USD is pretty good when it’s tax free. I know partners who are making million plus (local) but still choose to live in a modest 150k/yr apartment to maximize their investments.
