DUBAI Job offer - Relocate from Britain
Hi guys,
I have been offered a job in Dubai and need help to evaluate it.
My current situation :
I work in London at the moment earning around £50k. I have a house in Berkshire which is currently mortgaged ( I would have to rent it out if I relocate). I have a wife who works part time earning around £20k and a three year old who starts school in Sept 2017.
The offer:
basic salary - $130,000
Housing allowance - 30% of Salary
Transportation allowance - $12,000 USD
Settling in allowance (1month salary and 1 month housing)
Relocation expenses (flights)
Full healthcare/medical
School allowance of $10,000 USD per child.
What I need to know ?
Monthly living costs for a nice part of town ( 2 bed apartment)?
Will I be able to save much ?
Let me know if you need any more info about me to help me better .
Thanks.
