All of a sudden a little bit of uncertainty is beginning to creep into the perfect picture that I imagined just a few weeks ago!
Guys, some FOs point out that they get by with their salary. But consider the trend!!!!!
If it is barely enough to get by now, the erosion of the salary, or buying power/send home power, whatever you call it, has eroded dramatically the last four years. According to some studies by 70%!
This means you need a good fat layer in your lifestyle or bank account until you get your upgrade. And this exercise will be expected to take five years plus, if the attrition rate does not go up dramatically. And maybe a stagnation will hit in and it will even take longer.
Bear this in mind. FO in Dubai is survivable, but not desirable, believe me.
