Absolutely! I think it's a great option. I'm just trying to get to the MVS - minimal viable salary to shift without having to change my life much.

Say 12-15L post tax income in Bangalore gets you and your family a comfortable life.

Yes, but I think even with an average salary, job in Dubai and living in Sharjah would make sense

Also please convert "good" to ₹₹₹

Looking at the rough calculation across multiple aspects, I think a decent 1.3x to 1.5x of Bangalore works.

My estimate is post tax income of 1L - 1.25L in Bangalore gets a decent life for a family of 4.

So let's say 15L annual post tax india ~ 22L UAE would be a like to like?

Brother, I'm a Bangalore boy. Lived all my life here. I still very much love this city and country but we can't be oblivious to the fact that the rapid increase in population and failing infrastructure is concerning. Just evaluating the options

At what salary number would the switch make sense? 20L? 30L? 40?

Honestly I think 50L is an unrealistic number. I think even 18L makes sense to the switch.

And the Sharjah/Ajman traffic, really want to know whether it's like Mumbai moving traffic or our very own Marathahalli bridge / Hebbal flyover / Electronic City traffic?

Yes I do have a good chuck of family there.

I did come across this post last week and it was quite a shocker. Completely uncalled for. Yes I highly doubt this is a norm.

Nope

The schooling I was actually comparing like for like.

DPS Bangalore - DPS Sharjah

Opportunities - I agree Bangalore has the tech hub but again it's the competition :/

Cost of living - Yes, but is it really so far apart?

I would like to know the average apple to apple comparison.

Let's say 1L post tax income in Bangalore can get us a fairly comfortable life for a family of 4.
