From a purely financial standpoint, would I come here today with what is on offer elsewhere? No. Whilst the headline salary looks enticing, if you end up shelling out most of it just to exist here then I can't really see the point. Will you save money bringing your family here? As a DEC, perhaps if you are very careful but as an FO, not a chance. Whilst EK isn't a bed of roses either, the overall package is certainly well ahead of fd. If you want to come to the sandpit I'd look at EK/EY first.
Actually I'm going next week for the assessment with FZ in Dubai, I'm going for a FO position.......
