I'm single and currently based in Dubai. I work in IT client servicing. I recently was contacted by a recruiter for an opportunity in Singapore. I told her that to relocate I require at least 3 months due to notice period at my work which is 4 weeks and 2 months notice period to landlord in order to not lose my deposit or rent. I'll take possibly one more month just as a break, visiting my family back home, liquidating anything I own here. But unfortunately she refused as she was looking for somone to start in Jan. Anyway, what do you think how long will you require on average to relocate to a new country for work given that you are single?
at least two months, but 2.5~3 months average. Any company who want to bring talent overseas should expect that and if they won’t, i think it’s a bad signal
Relocation packages are supposed to cover lease breaking etc. Ask for more
