looking for opportunities in ME
 
Hello,

I checked a bit the forum before I register. I wanted to move abroad and ME was a good destination to me.
I applied for an offer as an IT Analyst for an IT service company and I'm waiting for their offer, the job could be in Dubai or Doha, and I could also have to travel within ME countries.
I'm from France with 8 years of XP in IT. Earning around 4000€ a month on a 14th month basis, for the full package :
company car + illimited fuel card, insurance, meal voucher, pension, phone, laptop, net allowances.
For the moment I can save around 1000 € a month after taxes.
What could be a minimum package for a couple with 2 children under 5 years ?

Thanks in advance for your help.

I am in a minority of one as a Francophile here but cannot give advice on IT jobs.

Thanks for your answer.
More info on that, the HR recruiter told me that the package is between [165000; 210000]. My problem is I don't know if it fits what I get currently and if it's enough to live/save money...

Sounds like strange attitude for someone who's living abroad... ;)

There is a thread on the main page that gives the expected costs of living in Dubai. AD or Doha. Perhaps that should be your starting point.
