Junior Rotating Equipment Engineer
(OP)
I am working as a rotating equipment engineer with a reputed engineering company in India for 2 years. Would like to seek some industry expertise on below queries. 1) What is the ideal growth rate (career wise as well as money wise) ; 2) Minimum experience required to work abroad? 3) How easy to get a job in US / Europe in comparison with Middle East? 4) What is the expected knowledge level and equipment handled from a 2 year experience person? Kindly provide your views.

I have done a bit of work in Saudi Arabia. It's quite different than working in the US. Work cultutre, expectations, pay, and lot of other stuff is hard to compare.
I earned quite a bit more money there than I could at home, though the hours and social opportunities were not great. I also noticed that people of equal skill and knowledge from different areas were paid differently. I think I was making considerably more money than my Mexican, Indian, and Pakistani counterparts.
Watch out for companies that will force you to submit your passport to them while you're abroad. It's actually fairly common in some places, though I haven't seen it in the US. To me that's really unnerving. I don't like to feel forced into work arrangements.
Good luck in your search.
