Hello All,
I am on EP in Singapore and lives with family and it looks like finding new job is becoming tougher for EP holders.
I do have offers from Abu Dhabi and Sydney and Bengaluru.
Anyone have experience of living or working in Sydney or Abu Dhabi ?
Is it worth to move to Abu Dhabi as it offer pretty higher salary and savings. Or Should I still choose Sydney as people say it offer better lifestyle even though it is expensive and offer very less saving potential.

The UAE is booming right now. I'm not sure where you are from, but one generic question is do you want to make money and save or find a long-term place to settle.
Also not sure if it is just you, spouse needs a job, and/or kids need to be schooled.
Anyways, good luck and regards.

Both are very different, depends on what your long-term goals are. I'd probably go with Sydney though, for a better work life balance.

Education system in both countries is very different, but then again it doesn't matter as much if you will be enrolling your kid in an
International School. Will your company be covering tuition?

I saw your post in Indians in Singapore FB group. Finding a job in Abu Dhabi or Sydney is not easy. Definitely not easier than finding in Singapore. So I am curious, how did you get these offers?

Depends on your long term goal. Sydney if you are looking for an opportunity to settle overseas. Middle East if you want to make money before you return to India.

Perhaps an MNC with offices worldwide?

Agree. Sydney is far better for families with children, while the middle east is great to "get rich quick".
