If you were given an opportunity to have a 425k salary but it required you to live in Dubai with these conditions would you do it?

The salary is 425k base pay per year. It requires living in Dubai. The work is 2 months on 2 months off so you get 6 months off per year.

The catch however that during the 2 months on you could be anywhere in the world during those 2 months and you could spend the entire 2 months travelling. During the travel you get travel pay of 500 dollars per day of travel on top of your 350k base pay. Also, The work is 12 hours a day 4 days on 4 days off during the 2 months.

Even though it is a tough 2 months on you still get 6 months off per year with a base pay of 425k per year

Yes I would do it

No I wouldn’t do it

That travel and remote work schedule is not too much different what I did much of my career, where I often spent month or two away from home. I'd take the job.

Is the salary and 6 months of competitive

[AviatorTom]

It's more than I made in my career. Also, you can do a lot with $500 per diem, including live cheaply and save a big part of it.

I could do that. I think. I’ve only had one summer job but I had some very tough classes in high school and college.

Also you get 4 days of rest after each 4 days on

Have you been to Dubai?

That place is a sewer, and the people are not much better.

Deciding on this opportunity depends on personal preferences and lifestyle goals. Reflecting on my experiences, I see this as a chance to balance high earnings with substantial time off. Dubai's vibrant lifestyle can be enticing, and travel can broaden horizons. Consider factors like work-life balance, cultural adjustment, and long-term career goals. If you value flexibility and adventure, this can be a worthwhile opportunity. Balancing family, friendships, and interests is crucial. Ensure that the potential benefits outweigh any challenges.
