Hi,

I might have a job offer in Sharjah (UAE) but I have been asked how much money I would want, either by telling him per month or per annum. Firstly I'm not sure how much to ask for in that region of the world and also is there going to be any difference if I tell him per month as opposed to telling him a yearly salary? He has also stated that accomodation and a car would be provided but I would have to pay my own bills. I will try to explain the jobs role below as best as I can without seeing the job decription I will receive in the next few days.

The company builds custom fiberglass boats. The job role will be to lead a team of workers to produce a boat from start to finish by talking to the designers and engineers, sort of like a forman. Some of the labour can speak a little English and some can not.

I have had 13 years experience in Fiberglass in many different areas and have overseen a few projects including one in China for 5 weeks.

Please could someone offer some advice as I'm sure others are interested in the job and I don't want to ask for too much but I know that pay is good in UAE so I don't want to undercut myself.

Thanks

Michael

i'd say 20k+ AED a month would be ok that equates to about £34k a year i think and if accomadation etc is taken care of its not bad.

I think 28-35 will the right.
UAE is comeing more expensive

Sharjah is not a nice place to live.
