Stop comparing salaries. If you believe you add more value to the organization then demand that salary or work up to a salary that you are happy with. Asia is the new talent and emerging market experience is very important going forward. I’m right now looking for Marketing professional for international markets and I’ve got tons of CV’s – most of them westerners – but that said the role demands mature market experience and it will go to the right person who has the requisite experience – irrespective of the colour of the skin (the mouth watering salary means I can get anyone in world)

It has now become really difficult to get management professionals from India (bbay). Made 4 offers for employment – 3 rejected, one expressed interest and then backed out. Will have to look at other markets or up the salary (it is already in range with what a finance professional would get in the UK). Qatar does not offer the lifestyle which is attractive and going forward it is going to become more difficult to attract "good quality" talent
