5k easy. What I do like about that hotel is the high all mighty "respect this hotel" message in the entrance to walk into a bar full of them

Millhouse

you seem to have quite specific information.

30mins? doesn't seem long enough

I've heard that about Iggle.

Just one more price plan and he can officially claim the "Big 4" experience after his name.

i'm told the highest paid hookers are the Tunisians and Moroccans....they charge around 2-3k for the night....i've been informed via arabic connections.

can't believe it as much as 5k? is that for an entire evening?

I walked in there with my girlfriend for a pre drink after a recommendation. She picked up on it rather immediately and still thinks I was setting her up for a swingers party.

I am very innocent and I maintain I didn't have the faintest.

Anyway on my way out to the toilet I asked the door man and he told me it was round about that figure and maybe more.

Just like my girlfriend he also didn't believe I didn't know where I was lol.

iggle

Mate im lucky if the russian lets me motorboat her

Always wondered what caviar tasted like.

Interesting debate.

I am audit manager also British having worked in big four for close to 8 years and have looked at Dubai. Hardly any positions at all in industry but seems to be the thing to go for a year and then try and nab a role in industry which pays about 20 percent more.

Also big 4 conditions are bad everywhere. I've worked in london office and elsewhere.

They sent me the salary details which was 25-30k (no accommodation help, big 4 do not do this per recruiter). A handful of small other benefits like phone, paying to move out, annual return flight, petrol allowance (all worth no more than 200 AED per month). I have told them 30k minimum and want promotion in July 17 to senior manager (salary is around 36-37k a month for SM). Does yours also include bonus as I didn't see that mentioned? For the one I'm looking at there is a bonus (1-2 months pay).

Why don't you flat share? Plenty flatshares for around 6.5k a month with one or two housemates in fairly okay places. Brings cost down a bit. Is a car also needed - maybe better off waiting until settled in after 6-7 months? My sister lived there for four years and only used it for work. Husband used taxis every day as really cheap.

Can you let me know what big 4 it is? Are private messages possible on here?

I did some time at E&Y (M&A, not audit), in London. We were not abused in quite the same way as the auditors and the pay was obviously shite, but trust me when I say this... it is worse here.

I know people in the corporate finance teams here who are not allowed to leave their desks... WTF, how can you meet a client.

DoLittle and PWC are probably the best here. Avoid E&Y like the lurgy.

Fair enough it's not with Ey I worked with them with 8 years since graduating. I expected there to be controller roles in real estate there but appears to be close to none and the odd one that is all wants industry experience. What industry are you working in there ?

scrubbedexpat141

One of our very senior guys is ex-EY and he had some very interesting things to say about them in terms of how hard they worked people and made it known to you very clearly how profitable / not you were and where you were expected to be.

Sounds like a savage business.

Of course for obvious reasons having one of the big 4 four on your CV sets you apart from the rest of the mob....but it sure does come with a price - I would never go into auditing IMHO, worse field to be in, in terms of quality of life.
