Please use the Search button, or try browsing in the Expat Help section of Dubai Forums, you will have an idea with your situation.

But just for the nice weather today, I will tell you now, 9000 Dhs would not be enough, specially w/o accomodation + the fact that your gonna send a kid to school! Sorry but you need to ask for a higher offer.

reject it, its a crappy offer.

1 bedroom is average 80,000 dirhams a year.

a conservative estimate of your expenses as a family of 3 will be around 40,000 dirhams a year

your kid in school will cost you 10,000 dirhams a year


that puts you at -22,000 dirhams at the end of the year. not fun.

Thank you very much for your reply...

Agree with Maaad - telll them that there offer is to low for a senior professional of you calibre.

yh, its a bad offer.

It's a good offer by Dubai standards. What are you people talking about? Which luxury apartments do you guys live in? And only pointlessly snobby schools charge 10k per year?

9k for a senior software engineer is a load of bull. Ask for ATLEAST 15k. If you are highly experienced and certified ask for 20k.

boys and girls....

have u guys stop to think if that dude is worth 9k? . No offence tdr2 but to me Senior Software Engineer is just a fancy title. It really depends on the size of the company and what sort of expertise tdr2 has to offer.

9k is decent for a lot of ppl. they make do with sharing accommodation and cramping into 1 bedrooms. that is still better than what they are experiencing back wherever they are from.
