Dunno. Pick your favourite.

It depends on whether you are a road sweeper or managing director.

I'm looking to see how much I would need to earn to have an average standard of living. Nothing special, just enough to live!

I am looking for fitness training/personal training posts

7,000 rent
2,000 transport
1,000 towards flights
5,000 to live on / food / drinks
1,500 bills - for a 1 bed.
= 16,500

I came here on slightly more than that + commission. But I know lads who came on less and did fine.

Fitness / PT is popular but competitive.

Bruce Robertson

thanks Scamp. And is that Dhm per calendar month?

Bruce Robertson

fitness training posts I have seen have been between 2000-3999 AED per month

Yep

Not surprised to be honest, maybe look at hotels.

Bruce Robertson

thanks Scamp. I have been looking at hotels as well, not just in UAE but also China/Singapore. It looks a better option

Probably. This place has modern slavery, so they can get away with paying Filipino/Indian/Pakistani/etc staff buttons.

In china they can use their own people and pay them less
