So I've tentatively accepted an offer from Dubai.
Why?
Cos it's huge. Pretty huge. It's well over a 100% increment from my current salary. Saying that this salary is like a rocket under my current salary is an understatement. I know I'll hate the weather. 50 C? Come on... this isn't for humans.
But.
I still have interviews with a company in New Zealand and I am still waiting on offers from my current company's branch in the US. The company in NZ still remembered me even though the last time I spoke to them was in December.
I would move to the US, as it's the only continent which I haven't lived. NZ is somewhere I want to live long term. Dubai is only short term.
So let's see what happens.
Well either way I guess I am leaving Sweden. Can you blame me really? Yesterday I found out you have unlimited tax liability as long as you have "a connection" to Sweden. Yep, go to Dubai and make a tax free salary? Expect to pay the same taxes here as a normal Swede. Way to go Swedes, you guys make it so easy for the government to steal your money, and you don't even care. :) Thank God I do not hold a Swedish passport, and never will.
So am I really moving to Dubai or somewhere else? Well let's see, I hope to move to the US, but if I have to move to Dubai first I am okay with that as well. As long as it's not for a long period of time. Least I lose my sanity.
Moving to.. the desert..?
