Hey all, me and my wife earn close to INR 4.8 lakh/ month(combined) in India. It has become extremely difficult for us to get a decent hike while looking for jobs in India. We have an offer to move to Dubai with a salary of AED 43000/ month(combined) . I feel we might have a better chance to further grow our salary in Dubai.
Is the offer worth considering?

Tech Stack : Salesforce
YOE: 9

Hi! Your case is exactly like me & my husband. We also earn same in India and have offer of 45K AED (combined) in Dubai and will move next month. I will give you our perspective-
We love our life in india, we have everything we want and a pretty luxurious life - we don’t drink or smoke so we end up spending lot on travel, and everyday luxury. We live in bangalore. Few months ago we visited Dubai, and we noticed that Dubai is very similar to bangalore ( vibes n all) with much much better infrastructure, safety, and most importantly tax free salary. And also bangalore is 3 hr flight away from our hometowns and so is dubai. For us it makes sense to rather live in dubai. Weather is harsh but we are mentally prepared for that. And we are going to explore and not with a mindset to forever settle. Maybe we would maybe we wont - who knows!
Hope our perspective helps - we can discuss more if needed. 😃

By 45k aed combined. What do you mean. How much each of you are getting and for what experience and tech stack

Already making almost 5 lakhs a month and that too with just 9 yoe! And still you're concerned about hikes!

Don't know where the world is heading towards in this rat race!

Aur kya loge Bhai, you guys are already at the top most in jobs except ceo, CTO . The Dubai offer seems nice as well, it's your personal choice to be happy in India or go and work with sheikhs, who typically don't think good of other people. Not sure about hikes in Dubai.

The amount you have mentioned will just beat the PPP, you won't be able to save more
