Re: salary expectations
For only 5 yrs experience and single yeah it's liveable but this place isn't cheap so more is always better. Accommodation is the killer. Search the forum for detailed breakdown. Autonomy had a good spreadsheet the other day, look for that

Re: salary expectations
its not far off what i'd have expected. you should be able to get 20k out of them easily, 25k doubtful on an 18k first offer

Also, if they're based in Al Barsha, it means they'll most likely be in Al Barsha 1, which is where Mall of the Emirates is. Most of the office space in that area is walking distance from the mall. Also, there is a good range of apartments in that area. There are a lot of duff ones, but there are also some hidden gems.

Re: salary expectations
I'm on a similar package. If you're single and don't plan on going out every night of the weekend and dropping £100+ on beer, you should be fine.
