Re: Packaged offered...
if you are single you can live on that no problem.
you should consider living in a shared villa/apartment then you can live closer to all the action. |
Re: Packaged offered...
Sorry Dave, could you say what job it is that you have been interviewed for?
That way can perhaps make some recommendations. |

Re: Packaged offered...
depends how much experience u have seems bit low.
3 bed appartment in abu dhabi is 165000 per year Improted food is same price as in UK so is clothing and electronics / electrical appliances resturants and fast food is cheap, almost half the price in UK So as a rule of thumb: You should look for Gross UK salary + 10% more Accomodation paid for including bills ( go for accomodation rather than allowance - since rents go up 7-10% every year) Car or allowance Fuel Card 2 flights back home if single or 1 if ur bring faimly over Education allowance for ur children atleast AED 35000 per child Private MEdical Insurance |

Unless you are higher up in the food chain, most positions here offer only 1 return flight a year. Although that is a good point Sparky, you havent mentioned either those, or health insurance, which is worth another £1k+ per year. He hasn't stated whether he has children, as he hasn't mentioned them, we presume not. |

fsazhar, you are a bit off base with some of this. Appreciate that you are trying to help him though.
