Personal dilemma in career change. Need guidance!!

Hi Syedsirajudeen,

There are lots of of job opportunities in the Middle East. More recently however, authorities in the Gulf have started to make requirements for hiring expats more difficult. While employment packages are still good, the positions tend be given to more senior and experienced staff members.

It might be an idea to try and get a position with the Indian office of a multinational company and then request a transfer to the Gulf, once you have more experience. In any case, you will need to secure a job before you move as your employer need to support the visa application. The situation also differs from country to country.

When it comes to salaries I wouldn't be able to give you an exact figure but take a look at this article -  A comparison of Expat Salaries in the Middle East.

Good luck. Just let me know if you have any more questions.

Thanks Shantalie! :) That was very useful. Do we require NOC everytime while switching jobs there in middle-east. Also is AZAD visa legal?
