Worth sharing but salary surveys from recruiters are pulled together in about an hour and so broad brush it's unbelievable.

I know, I've done loads of them...

So i have been offered 36,000 AED per month, 2 flights home for my wife and I, 80% school fees paid (no kids yet though), medical for my wife and I. The wage includes housing allowance.

Is this a good salary for my wife and I to live off? She will start working when she gets here so taking he out of the equation is 36,000AED a good salary? I have 6 years experience in the IT industry.

Any help would be great as we have a good standard of living here and want to ensure we maintain that over there.
Hi Dave,

I wanted to get in touch to see how you are getting on out there. I have a similar number of years of experience and have been offered what I gather to be a reasonable package. I tried to send you a private message but could not because this is my first post on this site.

Regards,

RRasul
