Working in EU or MENA

Who this is for:

Eyeing an opportunity in Dubai, Amsterdam, Berlin, London or somewhere else abroad and you have more questions than answers. The job boards don't tell you what the offer actually means, and most people in your network haven't made this move.

What we'll cover (based on what you need):

1. Is this offer actually good? Comp benchmarking across India, EU and MENA — what numbers mean in each market, what to negotiate, and what to walk away from?
2. Which geographies are realistic for your profile right now — and which ones are a 2-year plan, not a 6-month one
3. What nobody tells you about working culture in Germany, the Netherlands, or the Gulf — hierarchy, feedback, pace, politics
4. Which functions and roles travel well across borders — and which ones are harder to transfer than you think
5. How to get seen by recruiters outside India when you don't have local experience yet

What this isn't:

Generic "work abroad" advice. I've actually done this - BCG & Amex to Zalando Berlin to talabat Dubai. I'll tell you what I got wrong, not just what worked.

Come prepared with: the specific geography or role you're considering.
