Was offered a mega job about 6 years ago. Job entailed travelling around the middle east and the sub-continent troubleshooting for a Bahrain based company. Lots of travel which I quite like, lots of different places and challenges which I also like. Job came with big house on the beach in Dubai complete with maid, house boy, landcruiser, mega salary, bonus scheme etc etc.
Had recently "become" single and had no real family ties holding me back but I turned it down in the end. Couple of reasons held me back in the end, one was that I was running my own business relatively sucessfully, though not earning the same as I would in Dubai, and the other reason was my hobbies.
At that time there was NO private flying in the gulf states, and as my other hobby was biking, I decided the dual carriagway from Dubai to Abu Dhabi simply lacked corners!
Daft reasons I suppose but there you go. As for you Lil, you are still young enough to go for it and come back if it doesn't work out. In my opinion the experience of such a move would make you attractive to any employer.
