Thank you so much for your advice. Yes they want me to relocate to Texas. i will take your advice and reject the offer. They told me life is better in US and work culture is good in US as compared to India. The downside for me is leaving old parents alone and moving to US.

Hi,

It really depends on the nature of the role and the company that you have got a job offer from.

If the job is unique and the company is stable, then you must explore the option.

If you have taken both your vaccines, then the danger of contracting COVID comes down drastically.

Even if you do get COVID, the line of treatment is well laid out and you will recover quickly.

You must have a candid chat with your wife as such opportunities come by once in a while.

She can always visit her parents or even call them to US once you settle down there

Ans: Hi Praseeja, are you required to relocate to Texas, USA, or is it a remote opportunity? If it's remote, it's worth considering. If you need to relocate, it is not a financially attractive jump.

Ans: To evaluate whether the job offer in Kuwait is better than your current situation in India, you'll need to consider several factors:

1. Cost of living: Kuwait's cost of living may be higher or lower than in India, depending on various factors such as housing, groceries, transportation, healthcare, etc. You should research and compare the cost of living between the two countries to understand how far your salary will go in Kuwait.

2. Taxation: India has income tax, while Kuwait generally does not have income tax for expatriates. However, there may be other taxes or fees in Kuwait that you need to consider.

3. Quality of life: Consider the quality of life in Kuwait compared to what you currently have in India. This includes factors like safety, healthcare, education, social life, climate, etc.

4. Career advancement: Evaluate the potential for career growth and professional development in both locations. Will the job in Kuwait provide better opportunities for advancement or skill development?

5. Separation from family: Consider the impact of being away from your family. Are you comfortable with the idea of living and working abroad without them? Can you manage financially and emotionally without their immediate presence?

6. Future plans: Consider your long-term goals and plans. Will this move align with your career aspirations and personal objectives?

Once you've considered these factors, you'll be in a better position to decide whether to accept the job offer in Kuwait. It's not just about the salary figure; it's about the overall package and how it fits into your life and future plans. You may also want to negotiate the offer to see if there's room for improvement in terms of salary, benefits, or other aspects of the job. If you're still unsure, you could consult with a financial advisor or career counselor for personalized advice.

Ans: Dear Anonymous,
Sure, if all of you are happy making that decision; then great...

All the best!
