I am planning to relocate from middle east (Egypt) to Western Europe and currently working as Engineering Manager. I got an offer to relocate to Latvia with low TC With my family for 32K Euro Net annuel salary. Will this be a good step? Even if I have to compromise my total TC with low package? Or should I wait with my current relatively higher TC until I found a suita opportunity in Western Europe? I am 37 years old, and I am afraid of I did not relocate more that my opportunities to relocate will decrease over time. Should I go to Latvia as a step or wait tell getting better offer from western europe?
Do not go to Latvia. Get an offer from Western Europe.
Somewhere in central Europe is a better bet
Western Europe won’t be drastically higher. Your tenure will count towards permanent residency regardless of the country. Negotiate or look for the role in Poland.
My offer is 32K Euro Net annuel salary for Associate Manager. So I thing that any other offer will be drastically higher indeed.
Also they will issue a resident permit for me not a blue card, so my tenure will not be count.
I never hear Latvia for any tech stuff or action. I do hear a lot about Egypt and just noticed at work while coding that Amazon is in Egypt too. Startup scene etc. I would rather stay in Egypt and get an offer from Western Europe. I have never been to Egypt but sure sounds more promising than Latvia.
Amazon indeed was the real motive for me to think about Accenture's offer in Latvia. As I failed in the Amazon interview after I was very close most probably due to English Fluency which I was trying to boost by joining Accenture in an european country. Do you think that I am thinking in the right direction ?
If you think English is the problem then you can focus on English in Egypt or go to English speaking country. Accenture is a well known name so you can't go terribly wrong by going there but not sure how much it helps by living in Latvia.

Watch that guy's channel. He presents in a very entertaining way life in the Eastern block. Pretty accurate otherwise.
Latvia have potato. Politburo come take potato and wife leave rock only. Break teeth on rock.

No opinion here. I’m Egyptian too and just thought I’d say hi.
You will be the best one to give your advice
What is your main goal? Relocate to Western Europe regardless or relocate to Western Europe at FAANG? Really makes a difference.
