Hi, i have been offered a position in dubai.
I am coming from London - they are offering me £30,000 per annum
Is this much converted to dhiram? how much a month?
would this be enough to rent property?

its a sales job and i get 3 months living in a 4* hotel, thereafter i get a £12,000 cash sum to live, so i can share a villa and pay the extra, or get a cheap place and pocket the difference.
all travel and medical is paid by the company, as well as memberships to things to make me feel 'better'
the money isntgreat, but with the extra's, and the faxt the £20,000 is tax free, its quite good. i think!

I won't be thinking to move to Dubai, until I get offered
22.000 - 28.000 DHS per month (6000 - 8000$).
Is this too much to expect there ?

You think all expats have white skin?
jag wrote:Huh?? Oops, guess it didnt come out right ... I meant the vast majority are NOT making close to 18 K (as in less than 18K not more). Im talking about the majority though -- there are lots making more, but majority no..
