Salary advice - Abu Dhabi job
Hi
I have been searching on this forum with regards to salary and packages offers, plus have read the wikki, but I would like a bit more advice. My OH has been offered a job (in IT sector of large multi national - nothing to do with construction). The package is:
Salary 34,000 AED pcm
Accomodation 190,000 p.a.
Relocation costs 20,000 AED
Medical insurance for all family members (2 adults, 1 baby).
1 return flight for each family member per year to home country.
So any thoughts?

Re: Salary advice - Abu Dhabi job
Thanks for the quick response. From reading the awful experience of poor Mrs Haps we will be leasing 1 cheap car and seeing how things go.
On another completely separate note - does anyone keep a private horse at the Abu dhabi equestrian centre ??? I have got a cost of 2000 AED per month (I have horse at moment and that is cheaper than I pay in Oz - that's one for Mantronic!!! horse ownership cheaper in Abu Dhabi than Sydney!!!). Anyone know the cost of buying a horse or cost of flying a horse out to Abu Dhabi (trying to persuade OH to take mine if we go).

Re: Salary advice - Abu Dhabi job
Husband is but I wasn't planning to. We're in Aus (Sydney) and the livery over here isn't great compared to UK - tiny sand paddocks, no grass, horses all fed hay and hard feed. So horse used to heat and no nice grassy paddocks. Just had a quote for the flight 30,000 AED.

I wouldn't spend that amount of money flying it over here, what if you hate it here, job doesn't work out, etc etc.
Keep your expenses to the minimum in case shit happens.

good advise, horses come up for sale every so often, see how things pan out.

Re: Salary advice - Abu Dhabi job
We moved here from Sydney (no horse though). If i were you i'd wait until you found somewhere to live and settled in before you spent that kind of money on your horse. You cannot budget for everything in the move as there are always things that surprise you - e.g. grass, light fittings etc
