Thanks, added to the list

Its not so much that I can't make my mind up, more than I've only even thought of a relocation in the last 10 days or so, so its very early in the process. I really need to talk to both organisations that have expressed an interest in far more detail and take it from there.

In the meantime, the more information I have about the practicalities of living overseas in either place the better. There are a lot of positives for both Lyon and Dubai and both roles are doable. Very early days yet.

I see you're also on the DXB thread so I guess the rest is up to you!

Of, however, you do need any practical info about life and conditions on the "Côte", just send me a PM anytime!!*
Best of luck, whichever way you decide!!

Appreciate the offer of the PM - will almost certainly take you up on that sometime. Posted more in the DXB forum as that in a way is a far bigger move for me; Dubai is a complete unknown to me having never even been there. I've been in and out of Lyon a fair few times in the last couple of years and have friends not too far from there..

Just be careful with Dubai... could be dodgy if it goes the wrong way!
