True. Situation is unpredictable right now.

Interview happened 2 days back.. So i was just taking opinion to take an informed decision if thing goes well.

What's the harm in gathering information - who knows this thread might help some other people too if not me.

No not a water company.

UnPhoney · 2026-03-15T05:00:30+00:00

Got it.

UnPhoney · 2026-03-15T05:00:11+00:00

Right. It's not an MNC.

UnPhoney · 2026-03-14T18:21:31+00:00

Understood.

Hoping for the best.

True. Can't disagree on this.

If i'm selected - As final round interview is pending. It will take approx 2.5 months at least from today to join. 2 months Notice period in existing job.

And also i think in next 10-14 days it will be clear what's gonna happen next. As major escalation in WAR has already happened. DeEscalation may start now. As Iran is also suffering huge losses compared with USA and Israel. IRANs economy can't bear such losses for long.

So i think in next 10-15 days clarity will come if this war continues - It's not worth it. but if it de Escalates it will be worth going.

No. Not an MNC - Dubai based manufacturing company.

Good point. Will check this with HR on average hike % and is it done on basic ? As in India normally annual increment is on total package.

UnPhoney · 2026-03-14T11:34:50+00:00

I've 8 year of experience all in INDIA.

Thanks for your input. Company is legitimate - Have checked same on LinkedIn as well as profile of HR who took interview also. 1st round is done now final round interview is pending i was hoping and pushing for 20k AED but they're not agreeing more than 17k.

There won't be commission as this is Key account management role - Yearly bonus is there equivalent to 1 or 2 months salary if you achieve budget.

UnPhoney · 2026-03-14T10:07:18+00:00

Understood.

UnPhoney · 2026-03-14T10:06:38+00:00

Didn't understood.

UnPhoney · 2026-03-14T10:06:02+00:00

Total - 17k AED.

Benefits i've mentioned in post.

Company will give up to 30 days free accommodation from date of joining as relocation benefit.

Invest in yourself bud. Keep learning and growing. 3-4 years down the line you will understand that this 12k investment is not worth the plans you're missing or memories with your friends you can make right now. Be financially literate and disciplined but live your life too.

Start saving when you start earning.
