You must be their only satisfied customer.

If you're stupid enough to mistakenly cross a red light then you're probably not checking the site properly.

How are rapists treated by fellow in-mates here? Do they themselves get raped and abused like they do in American prisons?

Depends where your $90k/yr is being earnt and what buying power you're getting now - ie where are you based now? Fayz makes a good point about the profession and industry you're in. Personally its only so-so for me and I'm single so whether its good for a family depends on what your spending habits ...

Simple economics - supply & demand. The supply of people willing to work for next to nothing here is rediculous its a multi conglomorate's dream come true. Although in countries like Thailand, Indonesia etc you wll find the same situation - the rich get richer, and the poor get poorer. On the ot...

Given its USD 'tax free' you would have had some posting elsewhere so realistically you would be the best person to judge whether its 'enough' or not. Like I said before, we can't comment whether your cost of living is going to be less or more unless we know where the other place was, cause its like...

How about sending PMs to each other - problem solved!

Way too vague... unless you want a range of 1-1,000,000 as your reply.

What about industry, profession, qualifications...?

Housing included? Etc... Etc...

Choco and K, I'd agree with those points, as yes, the labourers here are paid next to nothing for the amount of work they do. I couldn't see labourers/tradesman in a place like Australia ever wanting to work for more than half a day for what these guys are getting paid in an entire month. That said ...

Clarify what? You're not making much sense here...

From a guess you heard from a friend returning from here that he saw many people being detained ("stranded") here?

If this is what you mean then what do you want to clarify from this?

Maybe that is why they are not considered as international construction companies here...

How can you easily get a visa when the company needs to sponsor you? You have no control over the process.

Ditto... any time I sit in my living room looking out the window there are countless "accidents waiting to happen".

Fayz, it looks more like you're due for a haircut

G, u can call me X for short

And yeah, its all of the above - number plate of my ride back in Aust [XRW-147], XRW is my car model backwards, and 147 is my lucky number.

If you live in the community developments (Gardens, Springs, Lakes, Meadows, Greens) there will be shared facilities like pool, gym, tennis courts, bball courts etc.

But if you want to be 'convenient' to MC and have affordable 4 bedroom you'll be looking in Umm Suquiem.

U're going grey G

Depends where your work is located and where your employer expects you to live.

And you're proficient with internet forums etc, I'm impressed!

I'll be there, even have my walking stick for you if u need - jokes.

G, maybe they can blend it up and u can have it through a straw... remember when I tried that after having my wisdom teeth taken out... chicken still tastes the same whether u chew or slurp!

There's not many "south" Asians here. Mostly west asians.

U a E s A i N t wrote:Ok west Asians ... <<<< but look at the core of the subject bro

If you read the thread, I've already put my 2 phils worth on the 'core' of the subject.

Too low.

And still you're lacking info there...

So no vehicle/transport allowance?

If you're an analyst and a masters grad ur offer is...how should I put this?

Crap.

Haha, Granny G, I meant it as M.C. not Mc(Donalds)...

Done!

Rent AED5,500 per month. Central location with everything such as laundry, supermarket, shops, shopping mall etc in walking distance. Did you just jack up your price because you saw his budget? This is part of the reason rates are so high here - greed! http://www.dubaiforums.com/viewtopic.php?p=339...

Annual flight is normally a given. But if you've been paying attention there seems to be a general consensus - if you're housing and car is not included, its too low.
