Where next? Switzerland? UAE? NL? London?...

[HorseradishGuy]

Hi all,

I work in Infosec as a contractor.

I was working in UK, went to work in Amsterdam for a while, came down to Portugal on a fully remote role and the project got cancelled so I was given notice :-(

Also, split up with wife (the day before I got given notice). All good, can't hurt me as Goggins says.

So here I am, fully remote is proving difficult to find, so I am looking to go to where the work is.

I could go to the UK, rates are looking decent and the market appears bouyant. Rates in CH look great, but cost of living is high. I am still setup for contracting in NL, so thats an option. UAE has piqued my interest. I hear Luxembourg pays well.

Else it's stay here / Thailand / Bali / Mexico and either forget about work for a while, or wait for the elusive fully remote to come along.

Can anyone make any recommendations? I'm looking for ideas for somewhere to go, good money, plenty of demand, decent taxes (though I am thinking of becoming / keeping Portuguese tax resident)...

I *think* wouldn't mind doing a contract in Dubai.. any feedback on that as an option?

Thanks for any constructive feedback.

I'd get a contract in the UK but then I live here with all my family and I posting advice on Contractor UK.

What you should do? Not a bleedin scooby.

Not Switzerland. We're full.

UAE and Dubai seem to have a plethora of 'infosec' cowboys. So if you're a cowboy that might be the place. I don't think rates are very good though, hence the cowboys

Full of what, though?

Luxembourg is not that cheap though, especially property.

After recently visiting I'd say CH, but feck me it's expensive (and I though DK is expensive). Seems to be a very high standard of living and never seen a country so bloody clean, they must sweep everywhere three times a day at least.

No, that costs extra
