I've got a job offer in UK. They are giving almost the same salary im getting now in India. They are giving visa only for me ,not for my husband so we have to get a dependent visa for him and he has to search for a job after we move there. We both are into software development and earning the same amount of salary here. My husband is saying it's waste go there with same salary (it will be one person's salary till my husband finds a jobthere)any one can advise based on your personal experience?

Do not take it up. You and your husband combined will be making close to 60LPA in India. 36000 pounds is too low for a single person and that too with a family you'll suffer a lot. On top of all this there's no relocation package provided and you'll have to bear all the costs. It'll be such a difference leading a really good life in India where you can afford almost anything and to struggle in UK atleast at the beginning till your husband gets a job and you sort it out. And also do mention where in the UK as the cost varies a lot and it will be on the higher end if it's a place like London for example.

Thankyou for your input. It's near Manchester

taxes r high in UK than India. inflation is 10% in UK now. unless u r getting minimum 2x of your india salary, you should not move.

Agree on inflation. For my salary, tax in India is nearly 25% and in UK is ~ 21%

It's not. Good idea. Don't go. Very very less salary in UK

What about accomodation and food? If they are being provided you can consider the offer, otherwise it's a waste because most part of your salary will go into these two.

No. Accomodation,food, my flight to be borne my me. No relocation package

What's the point of that offer ? I mean do they not know that you are already getting that much.

I mentioned my current package here and that my husband is earning the same amount and we have to live there on single salary which is half of what we are getting here. Then they increased the package matching my current package

If you could share absolute numbers regarding CTC and all, then people might be able to advise u better.

34LPA here. 36000 pounds there

I mean if there is no relocation package, then it's not worth it.

Thankyou

No use if they offer se salary. Also no idea when your husband will get job there. We also got opportunity for Singapore same case for my husband we have to pay for visa of my baby and husband plus salary was same what we are earning here. We are also worried whether he will get job there or not. After lot of research and discussion and calculation we decided to continue in India only. Here also people are getting good salary. One switch will give min 40-50% hike. So take decision calmly. And consider all pros and cons

Thank you for the input
