Just found out I’m about to have a kid. So that’s exciting. However my job currently is very demanding on time away from home it’s about 80% travel currently. Looking for something that I can transition into. If anyone has any suggestions, I would really appreciate the input.

My background is in agricultural SAS sales, sales team management.

Which offer is better?
€100K per year in Netherlands (with 30% ruling) OR
45000 AED / month in Dubai?

For a family with a kid.
Tech stack: SRE/DevOps/ Cloud architect
People staying in Europe and dubai please comment.

My priorities: Long term stay, better education , quality life, location with better security, law n order and less hussels.

Is it wrong that I'm sort of pissed off by this? Should I say something?
