I'm presuming you are currently in at least a 2nd tier firm? This particular question should in fact be posed to your prospective employer/s.
Can't really give you much advice without knowing whether you are looking to come or whether you are being asked to come.

Ok, looking for meaning you are not being offered a relocation here. In that case bare in mind you are competing against a lot of people who are willing to work for less than what you would. The onus is then on yourself to show how/why you would add more value than the person willing to work for less than you.

There are a lot of Arabs mostly Egyptians who are US CPAs, big 4 experience and fluent in Arabic that are applying for the same positions add to that the hundreds of foreign US CPAs, British ACA's and Canadian CAs doing the same thing.
