I'm on a 6 min run from satwa to oud metha!
(little bit longer in the evening though due the Al Diyahaf Rd temporary parking lot )


Damned if i can ever get to work on time though...

There is some salary info and cost of living info on this site as well
http://www.grapeshisha.com/

I havent looked at it for a while so it may be out of date though

I could've beaten that too (I'd have to run very fast though!) , if my office had moved to Burjuman - unfortunately this didn't happen........

Takes me about the same time to get to work and back. But then, I live in the Springs and work in DMC. Where do you work?

My husband calls it the armpit of dubai.........take a guess marginally worse than burdubai........

It's a bit less than the going rate, but not much. 20k plus is more for Creative Directors.

i get to work in 10 mins and thats walking too

mind you, i wont be wearing this smug smile in the middle of summer..

I used to commute 800 miles a week
Then I took 20mins-1hr to cross SZR
Now I work from the garden half the week. Yup Dubai is a nightmare

In that case, CDs here get paid crap...

I think the basic salary is not good, if for example your wife was to get pregnant you really would be well and truly knackered big time! The housing allowance isn't good either.

The way you are justifying this is that the two of you are working. Look at it this way, if it was just you and your salary your wouldn't be able to manage. No chance. By pooling your two salaries and allowances together it makes a bit more viable.

They aren't even offering you a roof over your head really! think about it.

Want to see high, and stupid....Iran's tourism board were offering £120K a year for media people last year

Does that come with a bunker?

probably not, but maybe some shares in a uranium plant

I was planning to go to Iran this year, until stupid Bush stepped in.
