Default Abu Dhabi - wages

Hi all looking for some advice please.

Been offered a job, which I'm very sceptical about.

They are offering me 12500 Aed a month which includes and accommodation allowance, and to pay for visas.

I don't have kids, it would just be me until I am able to get my partner out.

Question is, would this be good enough to live off?

I live a somewhat moderate lifestyle- gym membership weekends at a med- high price restaurants and a couple of drinks ect

Thanks

I'll break the bad news. That salary would only just cover my rent on a 2 bed flat.

A decent one bed flat will get you back 8k a month. A pint of beer is 45dh (yes, 10 pounds on today's exchange rate).

You could share (a flat, not the beer that is), but until you hit the magical 20k / month (for the pair of you) times will be tough.
