Hi Everyone,
I have recently qualified as a Chartered Accountant and graduated from the University of Calcutta. I have a job opportunity in Qatar @ 5500+ All Expenses. An Indian company is offering me Rs. 9.5 LPA. Is it wise to move to Qatar or stay back?
Furthermore, I have a rough plan to come back to India after 5 years. There are rumors that experience in Qatar is not valued in India and if I have to return later, I might have to start as a fresher. Is this the case in reality?

Most local companies are not bothered with foreign experience as it rarely helps them in India. However, they do not discard it and consider it as fresher.
You need to convince the company that your work is valuable and will be useful to them; then, they will consider it.

Dear Colleague,
As rightly guided by our colleague above, the experience overseas does not match the Indian requirements. The tax laws, accounting systems, MIS, financial reporting systems, and GST-like laws are different in India. Hence, experience overseas is not considered in most Indian companies. However, having a Chartered Accountant (CA) qualification holds its own respect, and companies will give weightage to that rather than overseas experience. Kindly make decisions accordingly.
