Hey everyone. I was offered a work contract in Dubai for position of seller-consultant in a boutique of the H&M brand.
The basic salary is 4000 AED, which is about 1100 US Dollars.
Bonuses:
the first two months the company offers allocation, after that period I will have to find it by myself.
15% of salary every three months for achieving the target,
10% of salary annually for achieving the target
8 hrs work day, 6 days a week.
that's it.
if anyone has any kind of experience, I would be grateful to you rof some advices and tips.
Best wishes

Hey Iucra!!!

I think 4000AED is quite low knowing that you would have to take acco later on as rents are on the rise....But then again if you dont mind sharing a flat in the not so fashionable areas in the city then it might be ok as there are quite a few expats working on this salary...

Also you have to take in other considerations like travelling, mobile, food etc..

Also, are they offering you a yearly ticket to your home country, medical...

Ask them who is going to bear the visa charges.

thanks a lot for advice.
the idea is that we are 4-or maybe more people coming there, so it would be prefferable for as to share. which we are going to do:)
the visa cost is offered by the company, also the medic insurance.
would be greate to hear any other opinions

Will share some of my thoughts to you if you'll answer my Q's, I wont mind if you dont want to answer

- Where are you from originally?

- What is your specialization and how long have you been working on your feild?

- Are you used to live at high cost in your hometown?

replied you in PM.
Best wishes

Hey!thank you again. I see what you mean
You see I thought a lot about it....
I understand that 4000 AED is not too much....
I have read a lot of information about Dubai(about people living there, forums, even information about accomodation from gulfnews.com and other)
I am coming there with my fiancée. We will be working together at the same company...
I am thinking that sharing a flat 1B/R, or 2 B/R will be a solution. I hope at least.....
If you have some more tips to share, please don't hesitate to PM me.
best wishes.
