How is the work life balance in Citi?
Here is the scenario: Have 2 offers from IT MNCs and 1 from Citi. Citi's offer is the highest. Almost 5 lakhs diff in the fixed component. Although money is important, but I am also seeking a little balance with life. I was previously in ZS Associates and to be frank, life was hell. I am not looking to relive that phase again.
What are the daily actual working hours?
Shall I join Citi or let go it for a lower package offer?
Seeking honest advice here.

Other thing - its much more difficult to find talent in MENA than it is in the US. Talent pools are smaller there therefore you're able to earn more. On the flipside, youre probably in Dubai/Riyadh and have zero security of actually staying in the country. Depends on what youre looking for, imo, each has different tradeoffs
Sorry, why do you think ME comp equivalent should be doubled in the US? Assuming both of your quotes are in USD.
Nobody will pay you that unless you are an executive or partner at well known consulting firm. But again, your math makes 0 sense.
US citizens working in the ME still pay US income tax on their ME salary. It's not "tax free" income for US citizens.
You are very unlikely to find a role for your equivalent net compensation. That would likely be 1 major or 2 normal jumps from your current level. The other challenge you may have is ME experience is often looked down upon by the US and UK/Europe.
I'd assume you'd make half of that in the US. ME experience isn't exactly valued and the labor demand/supply is completely different.

Are they offering normal white American people these jobs? I wouldn't mind working it for like two years then going home for a pay cut.
US citizens have to file taxes on foreign income. There are credits and and things, but if you're making at least several hundred thousand dollars in W-2 equivalent, you're paying a good chunk of US taxes on it.
UAE < US.
COL doesn't work like that state to state, much less in comparison to other countries.
I would suggest that you list out all of your positives, from YOE to specific skills and specializations. Then look for roles that you are a good fit for, and the aggregate comp ranges will show you what you are likely to be offered.
Having a high comp may help you negotiate the top of a given range, though they could also see you as a risk to leave for higher pay. It's not a golden ticket that you want to believe that it is.
Given your tax-based thought process, you’d want to rethink moving to USA. It is apparent you are not from a country that taxes global income. USA does that. So if you’ve been making 450k every year in the past, all income you make from investments will be taxed in US.
