Hi, I'm getting an opportunity to move from India office of my company to UK branch but a level below my current. Should I take this up? Would an Amazonion move from L6 India to L5 UK. It's a non tech role.
Try to negotiate if you can
Depends on your prioirty. If you are going there purely for a foreign experience, then it makes sense. If you are getting paid less there or if you would be doing a non tech role (assuming you want technical one) it might not make much sense as London is expensive.
was in the same location 3 years ago, I took it and my thinking was "once they see how good I'm they would promote me back" .. well, in all fairness they did promote me back, but it took 2 years for that to happen as a review cycle in big corp. is so slow .. overall, I had a pay increase (even after I was down leveled) so I was ok with it but it will always remain in your mind that the company took advantage of you. In short, only do it if the pay is higher (i.e. you save more for the same lifestyle or better, compensated for going away from your family)
Thanks,.makes sense.
Take it
