Hello,
I've been offered a job in Dubai. I'm in my late 20's, single, no house, and I love travel and am looking for an excuse to get out of London, so I may well take it.
Is it possible to live reasonably on the following package please... I do not expect to live anywhere flash, but there's no point going if I can't enjoy it out there...
My offer is:
- Monthly salary of AED 37,000 (which they say breaks down into AED 22k base salary, AED 11k housing, AED 4k transportation).
- 25 days leave per year
- Return flights London/Dubai
- Moving allowance of AED 12k
- One month's accommodation (so I then have to get my own).
By comparison, I earn £50k in London and pay £600 per month in rent.
Big questions I have:
- how easy will it be to get a room in a shared house when I get there?
- they don't include a car, so is it reasonable to expect to be able to get around in taxi's everywhere?
Thanks very much for any tips,
Helen
