I would rather stay in GCC region as it is so rich in opportunities in contrast to London which turns from traditional main Europe Finance Centre into speculation and investment hub like Dubai. You would be surprise how little mean Middle East exp in London where senior roles are moving only via hidden market.
Invest in UK - sure, but be aware costs making such move as you would be considered as sb from emerging market, like Eastern Europe but with better savings. I would actually move in the heart beat other way round and without regrets to more likely jeopardise my LN career. London isn't as secured career place it used to be banks like MS,JP even GS shifting even strategic role outside UK or at the best to Scotland. Partially because costs, because B.. parcially as HQ are in US and management decided to turn London into earning money only machine (front desk) than decision centre for Europe it once was.
If you don't have family pressure - no I definitely wouldn't advise such move.If alternative was US...yes you could hesitate, but not at current trends in London still trying to fit in after Brexit.
Do you believe there's professional growth in london? You'll probably come here at 150k gbp, pay more taxes, high costs, etc etc.
Unless you are in Saudi
Thanks EY1. I really appreciate it.
Thanks a lot ED1. I am US Citizen, moved to Middle East while back but found that professionally I am not going anywhere but financially it’s great.
I thought London may be another option for me but I am hearing similar views (as yours) from my personal network here as well.
