I'm considering a move to Dubai from the UK. I'm on a very good track in the UK but wanted to get some international exposure in an Arab country. Reading this bowl has made me doubt myself, should I stay put?

Im in a junior position, have excellent feedback, work hard. I make very little $. I had 2 job offers and told my current company I couldn’t afford to stay there. They immediately matched. 4 months later I followed up and the timing of the adjustment will now align with the timing cost of living increases for inflation which apparently I’m ineligible for. Should this exempt me from a cost of living increase due the adjusted salary 5 months after we agreed to this?
