Renewable energy private equity in MENA vs. Project Finance in Paris/London

Hello,

Monkey needs your advice.

Recently, I had an offer from a private equity based in Dubai focusing on the MENA region excluding GCC nations, e.g. Egypt, and Jordan. Also, there is another PF offer in the leading French bank in Paris with the possibility to transfer to London. After-tax pay in Dubai is more than twice that in Paris, but I wonder what's the prospect of working in renewables in these emerging markets or if you have any other advice on the choice.

Thank you.
