Hi,

I have been offered a job in Dubai. I am in my late twenties,from EU countrie and single guy.
I'm a quite social-handsome guy and like to meet new people.Would like to also experience the things that Dubai has to offer, like trips,clubbing, ... but all that mostly during the weekends. Not my intent to spend money like crazy and I'm not into a designer clothes, will try to save some also.

I was in Dubai for a week already.

The location of the company offices is Dubai Silicon oasis.

I have been offered base monthly salary of 14,300 Dhs + allowances, which are:
accomodation allowance 77000 per year
transportation allowance 715 per month
paid health insurance
Annual airticket allowance
Relocation allowance 5000 one time

My rough calculations are that I would apox have additional expenses of a single person with:
DEWA 350
groceries 1200
internet 700
other ???
+ taxi expenses in first few months to get used to the roads and dviving,and then I would rent a car or buy a used one. Please add how much expenses would I have with that.

I'd like to live as close as possible to my office location to avoid daily traffic.
What are the good locations nearby to search for an 1 bedroom apartment or a studio flat? I've heard of arabian ranches are nice, and not so nice inter.city is also close, your opinions please.



Thanks in advance for your help

regards

Interesting shopping list you have there...........

.... you didn't include condoms - how much are you allowing for those?

your housing seems a bit low, you could probably get something at Internation City on that budget, push for a better package

Can't help because I'm in Kuwait but keep your wits about you and enjoy yrself.

Best wishes for a fantastic start.!!

You need to learn a little modesty and humility if you wanna succeed here. By the way, your salary package is crap and your housing allowance even worse.

Madam Medusa

with your allowance, international city is probably going to be your best bet, and it's not far from silicon oasis...

oh, and i'm sure you'll fit in just fine round here...

MM, xx

At the risk of a verbal mauling........

'thanks in advance for your help' unquote.....................fairly good start if you ask me.

Shawadywady,

Bit out of order really. Thought the op asked quite politely.

Int city will do fine for you. Oh and get a brucey bonus by knee trembling slim shadys missus...

The Dean

He'll need another woman to make three...........

Hi,

May I ask how many years of experience you have in your current role and what sector do your work in?

majolo

HI, I work in sector of logistics and I have two and a half years of experiance in my current position. Now I'd be in a small managing position of leading a small team within a department.
I know I don't have that many years of experiance which they took in consideration and I understand it, so overall I think it's quite ok deal if I compare it to other posts from the forum and I think the salary will improve in future.
