Hi,

I'm an MBA (Marketing) + BE (Mech.) currently working in Dubai. I have a total experience of 2 years and 3 months (all in Dubai). I wish to relocate back to India. I want to know if my experience will be counted in India and if it is right to relocate. Also, if I relocate to India after 2 years, will it be a problem?

Please advise.

Hi,

The first thing I want to know is about your decision to relocate to India. Why do you want to come back to India? Are you facing any problems in your current job there? You have more than 2 years of experience, so are you seeking better opportunities in India or is there another reason behind your decision?

Secondly, you have good qualifications and experience, and it will definitely be valued in India. However, you will need to explain to Indian recruiters why you have chosen to relocate here. I have a few friends who have moved to India from Abu Dhabi and other Sahara countries, and they have not mentioned facing any issues because they were working outside India.

Don't worry, but I would like to say that if you do not have a strong and valid reason, do not rush into this change. You can continue with your current employer.

Best of luck for your future.

Hi,

In what field do you have experience? With reference to relocating to India, what Anil has said is right. Give a solid reason for a job change; relocation can also be a valid reason. However, for salary, you need to align your expectations with that of India's job market. Don't expect to convert your UAE salary into Indian Rupees and expect a similar or higher amount. Research the job market and find out the salary range.

Thanks for your advice Anil & Hussain.

My reason to relocate back to India is as I'm here on a contract basis which is about to expire after 6 months. I think that this is the right time to go back to India as many experts say that the more time you spend in the Gulf, your experience is not counted. I want to know if I take an experience of 4-5 years or more in the Gulf (or Dubai), will I get a decent job in India as people say it's very tough in India to get a job with Gulf experience. I'm currently in the Steel Sector. Also, if you can give me some advice on how to transition into another sector like FMCG.

Waiting for your response.

Dear again you haven’t mentioned your position and job role except your qualification.

Well, first I wanna tell you that there is no need to be too scared about getting a job in India and don’t worry ok!!

I told you in my earlier massage that I personally know many of people and have friends who have relocated to India from Dubai and other Gulf area. And I have never heard the problem you are talking about here.

I also have worked with a European Country and can understand your situation what you are into but again, I would suggest you to think over this change. I agree with Mr. Hussain there a big the currency and economic differences between these two countries too and we all know that. Maybe you cant get a salary package that you are getting there in Dubai and after some time in India, this made you realize as your BIG MISTAKE.

Ofcourse, In India the job market, scope and future of Experience is big valued too but it dosent mean that the peoples who have worked and are working there cant get a good job here with their Gulf and other Country Experience. I personally and profession don’t think so.

Think over your decision again and if you still wanna do that, you can without a fear.

Best of Luck
