Has anyone jumped from audit in Canada/US to the UAE recently? I was chatting with a mentor and they said, you get paid significantly more, and you aren’t taxed. Checked online, the salaries are probably 20% higher - not worth the move IMO… Anyone make this move and can share their experience?

From what I've heard, the issue is that your salary gets eaten up by other costs, especially rent.

You might find success in Dubai, from my experience people there tend to like Native english speakers and they generally have more exit opportunities than the average local since they bring this “International vibe” or reputation to the company.

I don't do international tax but I'm pretty sure if you're a US citizen you'll still be subjected to US tax even if you earn you money abroad and don't reside in the US.

Yeah but you do get the foreign earned income exclusion which is like the first $140k in income. Plus you're exempt from Social Security, Medicare, and employer health insurance premiums

Heard it’s hard to find a drink in UAE. Not sure how to do audit like that.

H1-B transfer question

I recently accepted an offer to join a company (A) . They started my H1-B transfer and I received today the approval notice for the transfer.

However, I accepted last week a (better) offer at another company (B) and they will start soon my H1-B transfer.

I attend to tell company (A) on Monday that I will not be joining them. Will there be any issue with company B filing for a H1-B transfer soon?
