I’ve an offer from Japanese company for about 9M (90 lakh) Yen per year. Also an offer from UAE company for 20K AED per month.

My current salary in India is 25LPA, with 3.5 years of work experience.
I wanted to ask your thoughts and is it worth to move to Japan, or UAE or switch in India ?

Can you please share experiences in working in these countries and which can be better for me long term?

20k AED at 3.5 year of experience is quite good. You should consider it as no income tax is there.

Japan is a workaholic country too!

Congratulations on the overseas offers! Sorry to sound pessimistic. If you convert those offers through PPP (purchasing power parity) salary conversion (and not simple exchange rate conversion) - the Japan offer of 90L Yen comes out to ~22LPA in INR equivalent & the UAE offer of 20K AED p.m. comes out to ~ 26LPA in INR equivalent. 1 is below the "equivalent" of your CCTC & the other is just a little above..

PPP signifies that, even if your offered CTC looks big in their currency (or simple exchange rate conversion to INR) - the PPP equivalent gives you an idea of "what lifestyle" you can derive from that offer, in comparison to an Indian scale. I don't see an upgrade for all the effort of shifting.

Worth negotiating with these companies, or reconsidering if it is all worth the effort relocating. You could get better offers in India in that case, and increase your quality of life right here.

If you looking for life style change you can try going to Japan. If you are looking to put up a business in future then go to UAE.

I am assuming you are single.. In UAE, you would be able to save no less than 2.7 LPA, and it would keep growing for you in the coming years. And you would be closer to home too.

Not sure about the Japanese offer. In Japan there would be taxes and costlier living, I would anyday prefer UAE over Japan for short time.

If you want to settle down for your life, Japan would be a better option

I would recommend you to go to Japan. My main reason would be the culture, lifestyle and experience which you’ll get there which will you’ll be missing in UAE for sure. Also work culture is not good in UAE and there are a lot of restrictions for foreigners there which you’ll get to know once you move there which might sound weird. Switching companies also might be a problem in UAE due to less numbers of companies there compared to Japan.

What kind of restrictions are in UAE

Japanese visa is much stronger than UAE visa
Also as per the economy is concerned Japan is above UAE.
Cost of living in Tokyo is LESS than Dubai but ofcourse you will have to pay the tax in Japan.

As someone who has lived with family and worked in dubai. I strongly advise developers from going there if you need career growth.

For a business or banking job, Dubai is the place to go. I resigned my job in Dubai to come to bangalore. The developer community and career growth you get here can’t even be compared to dubai.

I don’t know much about Japan, but i believe they will still have better tech community in terms of research teams as well.

The only things you get in Dubai is tax free salary. But to live a lifestyle matching your Indian package you will need to spend most of it there.

Japan is a really difficult country to live and work in the long term. Even with citizenship you will be a foreigner. So be careful. For the short term there is much to learn from their culture. It's also very expensive.

UAE on the other hand will be closer to India. You may very well have a mostly Indian team. It's also easier to flex in terms of expenses there ( live outside prime areas such as Marina).

Both UAE and Japan are way safer than India tbh
