Moving to Al Ain; Intro & Package
Hi,
I've been offered a job in Al Ain and I think I'm going to take it (!!) so I wanted to introduce myself and also get your opinions on the package I've been offered:
Basic salary - 99k
Housing allowance - 100k
Furniture allowance - 10k
Transport allowance - 42k
Recreation allowance - 8k
Total - c 21000/month
I'm single, no kids, so was thinking I could get cheaper accommodation and pocket the extra allowance (allowing for c80k for a 1 bed flat - is that sufficient?).
Also 1 return flight per year, 30 days holiday, relocation allowance & medical coverage.
Does that seem reasonable? I'm not in a high earning industry and am only on £24K in the UK.
I've already read a lot of useful info in the huge Al Ain thread, so thanks!
